Great stuff everyone 
I'm just catching up. We are loaded with snow (not a given) and crazy busy.
Allen, loved that last set, and congrats!!
Mitch, many strong shots
Just a bunch of impressive stuff in the last six or seven pages.
I have been using the RX1r2 alot, but last few days I took m9

Eye-AF....I don need no stinking eye AF

Sorry, Sony, u are fun, but no camera I ever owned delighted me as M9 often does. I will sell everything before that I've also learned some interesting things about the corrosion issue. The sensors are identical CCD, but my version is the older one. It has a .8mm schott S8612 cover glass directly glued to the sensor and no filter stack above. All DSLRs and sonys have a hard clear cover glass and IR cut goes above that in a filter stack, so .7mm clear, plus at least another .8mm IR cut (Kolari) usually alot more, above that in one or two holders in front of the sensor. The M8 had S8612 at only .5mm but was too thin so there was famous IR leak. S8612 is the absolute gold standard in IR cut absorptive performance with an incredible curve in the visible range. But it's composition makes it sensitive to environmental conditions, as we now well know. The new cover is is BG55, which is very tough environmentally but looses about 10% in transmission.
The best performing M mod to any non-leica digital camera ever made (on A7r2) can be seen here. That mod removes the coverglass and the stack and replaces with only one sheet of .8mm IR cut, whatever flavor you want. Pulling that glued cover glass and keeping the dust out is no mean featThis guy has done 10 or so Finding the best IR cut for the Sony in the mod I'm not sure is totally settled, but I believe that camera very possibly the equal of the M240 with all M lenses at least before the profiles are applied (Sony does have very much updated app for profile creation), in terms of "smearing". The much simpler and safer kolari mod does hit that level but only with certain wides like the SEM18 and maybe 28 Lux. So if you factor in the technical aspects of the sony, 42mp, 80mb lossless RAWs, 4K video, silent shutter, good to ISO 6400 and even higher, it's arguably the most advanced M "back" ever deployed, and it appears based on M10 specs, this will remain the case for years. I'm not saying most of us would not prefer a nice RF to that friggin TV in your eye A variant of that NKIR mod which has not been done yet is to have a specialist remove the clear sony coverglass and replace with anything you want. In either case the sensor needs to be pushed forward to hit infinity, as Kolari and many astro mods already do.
Anyway, bottom line, M9 original sensor probably has cleanest color transmission ever made to FF digital, before it corrodes, anyway. Mine is still fine, and I think many others are also: knock on wood. For perhaps 400USD one could have the M9's S8612 actually replaced with a clean sheet of the same thing---but you need a real specialist. Leica does not bother with this, but replaces the entire sensor....well I should not say that, because they could theoretically do the same with the "corroded" sensors replacing with BG-55, but this is labor intensive so it's likely the replacements are all new.
So as second body to M9 I may add in addition to Kolari A7, which i like, a A7r2 with a very thin IRcut only as described above, or possibly a new extra-thin Kolari. The r2 files really stunned me in how they can be worked in LR with little new noise. Much better that the crappy A7 raws and the good M9 raws. But I am going slowly
Best and Happy Holidays to All

Charlie, interesting stuff about the M9 and about the sensor mod for the A7RII.

Here is a kind of comparison between medium format, or mini MF as it is called here on fm, and the MF look on FF when shooting with very thin DoF. S-006 and 70 Summarit vs .95 Noctilux, all shot wide open.

Love those Joakim
I love the 006 and 007 and the new hassles and fujis are intriguing, but one thing I learned in my research. FF has thinner DOF potential, if one wants to use it. Simply because the lenses are so fast. Your shots are a demonstration.
That revelation saved me alot of money I think and effort as well, since for what I like to do, portability is key. In a perfect world I would have a large house with a room for each system
Instead I have a small messy house and one closet stuffed with lenses

I agree, there is more 'bokeh' in the Noctilux shots, but there is more definition in the foreground in the S shots.
It all depends what you need or want...i use both (old Nocti 1.0 with MM) and besides bokeh the S files are something differend.
Thx for the great post, Joakim.
BTW i bought the S 006 and the Summarit 70 for less than the 0.95...

These might be better as a set, sorry for a longer post..

Mostly (but not all) 21SA and 75Lux

Spent a little time in San Francisco right before Christmas. All with the M246. First three are with the 35mm Cron and the last with the 90mm Summarit.
