Lucky you... enjoy!
Find a used M9-P instead of going with an X-Pro2?

I'm expecting my wife's ghost to smother me with a pillow tonight. LOL.

You only pay for it one time. You use it for a very long time. Longer if it isn't what you wanted.

Exactly. It took 53 years, but I learned.

I don't get why some advocate using a crop sensor camera over a full frame. Why would I buy a fuji if I want my 35 to be a 35 and my 50 to be a 50? The user experience of manual focus using a rangefinder patch over AF and live view are just as important to me. With regard to iso performance, the M9 at 400 and 800 is all I need as I shoot it like i've got film in it. Did I mention the CCD look? I can tell the difference between my Nikon full frame files and my M9's. If I want high iso and speed I'll use my Nikon's which are also obsolete according to some but strangely along with my M9 still continue to capture good photographs. If some need the latest gadget to do so then perhaps a rethink is required regarding technique and not equipment.
Congrats on the 240 Ken.

That was why I could never get excited about the M8 - the crop. The only way I would have gone Fuji was with a full suite of their lenses. I think I'll be much happier with the M-P, just poorer.

Did you read the thread title?
These were talked about.
The key word being "I" ...most are talking to the OP who was asking about two cameras.
It was mentioned... and for every CCD lover there is a CMOS lover.

I could make the same argument about why people would bother using full frame when there are medium format options available. FF vs APSC is hardly a big difference. Only downside would be the existing lenses you already have not being the same focal length.

Enjoy the 240, Ken! Looking forward to seeing some shots from it.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it myself! Too, too long without being very active...

Same focal length, just different field of view. For some existing lenses you can also keep the field of view the same while also increasing light grabbing ability.
I love that I can put the tiny 35 f2 on the Xp2 but when I want to can put on a wide variety of other lenses. Lets me use the camera for a huge number of situations.

Each to their own but in the end Ken made a choice for himself and I'm sure he'll be happy with it as you obviously are with your fuji

My M5s need red dots!
Congratulations, Ken!! Now we definitely must meet! 🙂

I'd be happy with either... I was just pointing out that the thread title led people to pick sides... regarding crop factor.

The X-Pro2 has better IQ than the M9? 🙄
(Actually, some would argue that the M9, with its CCD sensor, has the best low-ISO IQ of any camera.)

Sure, in some ways it does... in others ways, maybe not.

I guess I'm too late to the party to suggest that, along with the M9, film Leicas have become obsolescent too. Everyone knows you can't shoot a decent picture with an M4-P, an M6, M7, and now, an M9.
Just my little brand of sarcasm. Enjoy your M-P M240. The biggest impediment to me for making images that I'm proud of seems to be just finding the time to get out the door with that one goal in mind.
