Really nice shots Luka! It is great to see your photos, contributions and your viewpoints. Your abilities and talent would definitely benefit from MF, or with a camera like the D3x
Interesting discussions I have the 5DII and M9, and I am starting to prefer the M9 DNG files. It has taken a lot of time to understand the PP with profiles of these files, but the more I delve into the RAW files, the more it reveals its excellent IQ. Bit like polishing a rough diamond. There are most definitely quirks with the M9, such as corrections for the red edge with WA\'s with non Leica lenses, and auto WB. The metering system for the M9 is excellent IMO, as it is a centre weighted. Working with it, brings a better understanding of the exposure, unlike with the multi segment metering system like on the 5DII, I find myself correcting without understanding the logic behind it. The M9 metering works brilliantly in low light. When I need AF, Macro or telephoto, I bring out the 5DII. But for now, it is resting....
There are interesting viewpoints, as a number of landscape photographers who have MF are now finding that M9 is providing great IQ without the size and weight. But then if you are a professional having DSLR, such as D3x/1DsIII and/or MF is what is needed to achieve results where you have a paying customer. My instructor/mentor, Tony uses a D3x and Hasselblad with a digital back, to provide the results he needs consistently for fashion shoots for the larger magazines and fashion houses. He has used the M8.2 extensively, and loves the camera too.
If I was a professional, my decision of equipment selection would be a lot more pragmatic... maybe!
