Wouldn't it be $7700 after tax so that add should be cheaper anyway?
I haven't posted for a while but I've still been following the thread. My camera has finally come back after a month wait and my nocti arrived just in time for the holiday. Maybe its just a phase I'm in but I really like its painty rendering.

Thank you Ryan
Ryan, you will love the M240, just for the ergonomics alone! I have not really picked up the M-M, for the same reason.
Allen, wow... superb composition. Beautiful balance of shade with light
Katie, love the portrait!
Ryan, wonderful set!
Rocky, stunning portrait! Almost an oil painting in the rendering.
Thank you Jabber My preference is the 50 perspective, and I find I don't like the 35 as much. If I need to go wider now, I usually opt for the 24 Lux/21 SEM. So I have ended up with the 50 Lux/50 Nocti f/1.0 and 50 Cron Rigid DR. The 50 Lux is great, but I prefer the 50 Cron Rigid rendering style.
For those interested, I have just received some photos last night on the modification for the 50 Cron Rigid DR. These were sent by Camera Clinic in Melbourne, with two options. The photos have been approved to be shown here
One is to mill the edge of the near focusing cam so it does not impinge on the M9/M240 body in normal focusing mode beyond 4m. With the M240 you have a fully functional macro mode, that will still be activated by the focusing ring in LV. Of course the calibration for the RF mode will be not correct any longer. The RF calibration for normal mode is unaffected, and I have found the calibration to be very accurate, even after 55 years!
Two is to modify the body of the M9/M240, milling a small radius into the body. This is great if you wish to leave the the lens unmodified, and will also work perfectly both in Macro and Normal mode.

Nice shot's Ryan. I KNEW you would start out with a simple kit (again) and work your way up to an M240 and set of lux's... Hopefully you can get one quickly. It is one great camera and I have no regrets at all.
I had a spare one sitting around for a while! Sold it just before leaving for my vacation. Think they're getting easier to find though, so he shouldn't have any issues.

Yes this is why I opted for the lens modification instead! At least then the lens can be used on different bodies

Gary, stunning shots!!
Allen, superb street work Great artwork in your compositions!
Joakim, love the surreal feel to your shot!
I have attached a shot from the lab, after the modification to the 50 Cron Rigid DR.
I am again rationalizing my gear, as much as I love the M-M, I will probably trade it in for a backup M240 which is soon to become available. When traveling it makes no sense to carry two different systems, so if any one is interested do let me know before I advertise. I never thought I would part with the M-M, but I am very happy with the M240.
BTW, you have probably noticed the pink skinned M9, and so popular it has been relegated to testing the labs!!!
