I decided not to vacation in Baghdad this year after reading this.

Too painful to read past page 3.

I hope Leica gets it right with the M9. My requirements are more in line with those of the article than the walk about casual user an so if the product is not well honed it is not going to be viable for me. That means down the 5d Mk2 route which I dont want bec I want a small rangefinder with a quiet shutter and superb fast lenses that are not the size of a paint tin. PPPpppllllllease Leica, polish the M9 before it hits the shelf!

Just stay in Kurdistan--you'll be fine, as long as you don't meander across the Iranian border.

Wake-up "J"!... Now I am only speculating here, but I would bet that your wife, girlfriend, or boyfriends (if you have any), probably yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn... when you walk into a room.

Stop drinking de-caf!

I wouldn't use an M8 in a war zone either. They're not designed for that.
