I love my M7. Just want to ask the question. If you had the money, would you buy the Leica R9 & Leica Digital-Modul-R?

No likey digital-phooey
Man, that's a lot of bulk. In LFI's last issue, there's a big slick spread of a guy's trip to Kazakhstan to take photos of nomads on the steppes with his Digital Module-R. The shots look very sharp but, to me, just have that lifeless digital "look" despite the high pixel count. Save 50% on weight and, what, 70%(?) on price and use an R9 with film.

If I wanted it, I'd have it.
I have the R9/DMR combo. I pesonaly dont t think the DMR produces the platic look of other digital cameras.
Here are a few taken with it.

Jorge, that b&w version of the canyon is stunning.
Glad you like it. 🙂

If I could afford it, I would certainly get it. But I have to settle for the Digilux 2, which I have been extremely pleased with.
I'd drive a Maserati if I could afford it, too, but I'm stuck with my Scion xB. I'm happy with it, too, but it's no Maserati.

Went to our local Leica distributor and they showed me a picture blown to about A1 size taken using the R9-DMR. The details are fantastic with tonality of medium format. The beauty is that the results doesn't look digital to my eye, looks a lot like film except the lack of grain. If I have the money, I'll definitely buy one.
They also talked about a digital M at the end of this year. But I know it'll be beyond my thin wallet.

R9 + DMR? That's a lot of dough. I don't think I would ever spend that much money on a camera, no matter how good results it produces.

I am saving my money for the digital M. No, I would not, because I KNOW I would go into a R-lens buying frenzy.......

Jorge- you should give a warning or disclaimer. I had the sensation of falling into the frame.

the grand canyon shots are amazing! but the farmer's market shots has all the MO of a "digital" image. I think it has to do with the blown highlight on the building in the background.

If I had the money the answer would be no. I am committed to a different SLR system.

Those shots of the canyon are fantastic, Jorge 🙂
i see what you mean about the buildings in the market area.
Glad you guys like the canyon shots. I have one more that is really nice.

I absolutely agree ... the cover shot and all pictures inside the LFI issue you've mentioned looks so different from all its back issues, flat, lack the 3D impact and lifeless - one can immediately tell its a digital shot ... if you liked what you've seen over the years, I suspect that you'd be happy with the new one.

I think, Jorge, that it is the lenses as much as the digital part that make for these results.The detail of those canyon shots, both in resolving power as well as in colour differentiation is close to the limit of what a lens can do. As soon as you get to less complicated subjects like the market shot the difference is not as obvious.
