Holy #$a!, I just bought an M9P

[bherman]

I currently have an M8 and like it, but really wanted an M9 for the FF, higher resolution, lack of IR Filters, etc.

I was given a great price on a new one from a Leica AD, so I decided to go for it. I will still keep the M8 for now, but I should get the M9P on Tuesday.

What have I done!!!

Does it matter?

You da' man!!!

Probably best to just go with it right?

Congratulations 🙂 I wish I could be in your position! I've owned my M8 since December of 2011... It was in pristine condition with only 400 actuations... It's now become a scratched, modified and well used tool. I absolutely love it, and I could definitely see it getting along well with an M9 someday 😛

you have done righteous damage to your fiscal situation

Reminded me of Pulp Fiction: "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger..."

You've bent over, greased up and pulled down your pants ... actually if we want to continue the Pulp Fiction theme, you've also called yourself "The Gimp" (isn't that a photo editing program ?) and put a red ball (sorry - red "dot") in your mouth ...

Very classy.

No. Class, creed, race or religion don't enter the equation and nor should they - otherwise you're just looking for a fight.

I also live in MA. Can I borrow it? 😀

Congratulations.

I know the feeling. I receive mine last week.🙂

 

[dogberryjr]

Just the one?

 

[Teuthida]

Sucker. [just kidding. Kind of.]

 

[Revdockj]

Congratulations!! You won't regret it. I love mine. I, too, kept my M8. I keep a 75mm summicron pretty much attached to it permanently and use the m9-p for normal to wide. Great combination.

Nice. The logical M8 upgrade 🙂

 

[Phantomas]

Did nobody tell you the M10 is about to come out? At half the price with twice the features? Strange.

 

[Robert Lai]

Well Brad, at least this explains why you've sold off some incredibly good film gear recently.
Please give me a shout when the M10 or M11 comes out, and you want to get rid of the "old" M9.

You're right, I was in a bad mood. Sorry.

Sounds like GAS has a concscience. Too late, resistance was futile and so your conscience will be too. So you might as well just enjoy it.

Nice. I picked up an M9-P a month ago, and I LOVE IT!

 

[bob338]

I got my M9 about 6 weeks ago and have no regrets. You'll love it!
