I think I seriously need to curtail my future spending to be applicable to a 'strictly amateur, retired' status, however I have no doubt that I'll continue to miss having an M9.
As for our respective currencies, we can but hope that they return to a more healthy XR with the USD.
Today I had the 75 Lux with me, and 9 stop ND filter. Otherwise, with M9's 4k shutter max, you blow the highlights. From my video adventures, I have a bunch of them now. But you look at the canon insertable filters, and I wonder if I could squesze a slot on M adapter. That would be sweet.
Thanks Charlie for your kind comment. That 3rd one of my last set has been viewed twice as much as my previous best performer on Flickr. It just goes to show that being there when the light and scene present the opportunity is the most important thing.

You show why the CV 50/1.5 is maybe the most used M 50 worldwide today. I want to see how the new 300 gram 1.2 does in comparison.
Yes, light and scene, and often when at the best it can be so fleeting. A lens swap? Do I have time? I was on a house call yesterday in incredible light, but wrong car . No spare, thin tires......
Werner, Another beautiful image! Enjoy it.
uhoh7, your editing really show M9's sensor difference. I really like the first 75lux shot.
So did David's M8 shot. color is just beautiful.
Charlie, well thin tyres or not, a Mini Cooper as must be a lot of fun!
I agree with Michael on the great colour of your first shot and I like the monochrome images too. I'm off to Moto GP on my KTM990SMT, starting tomorrow. I know you're definitely a keen biker so I expect that trip would also appeal to you.
I certainly don't regret buying the VM50 f/1.5 off the B&S board, and I also value the CV35 f/1.2 Mk 1 that I picked up in a Leica store 2nd hand in Melbourne at a great consignment sales price.
Werner - I love the image and the smart title!
Michael - More excellent family and environment images.
robgo - great shot. I too love the Macro-Elmarit R60.
As mentioned in the Canon forum something a little different. I have a bush in front of a window and every year in the Autumn after the leaves have fallen I get interesting shadow/light patterns appearing against a wall. This year I decided to play a little with my cameras.
I bought this lens when it was still very expensive, I think I paid 3k at least. What was my body? Nex-5! Everyone laughed at me, and thought I was crazy. But 28 x 1.5 = 42mm. Perfect Normal. That's what I needed. The Nex loved the lens.
Big buzzword today is "color science", which supposedly Canon has and Sony doesn't
What we know is the lens is a big part of it. Case in point, Lenticular, is that v1 35/1.2. It's a fantastic lens, WO or stopped down. But it has it's own ideas about colors and you will never make it imitate the palette of, say an FLE, no matter what you do. Which reminds me I still crave a FLE
