Luka, I have to agree. I am a member of those forums..a new one, and I see praise for shots I don\'t get. I don\'t get them because they don\'t offer anything, but I keep trying to chalk it up to my ignorance. Still they get a lot of praise. Meanwhile as a new shooter I ask for help and am belittled for my efforts. One thing those forums has taught me is that money doesn\'t buy manners or class.
I think its a real shame there are no other real choices for digital rangefinders. I\'m in the camp that really loves the leica lenses..I hoped the x1 would be justifiable, but at my skill level (or apparently lack thereof) and it\'s all around slow speed, I guess its probably wasted on me.
That said there are some users that have real talent, and the money to go with it...those posts absolutely shine.
That also said, I think your shots (sorry to be a hugger here) are way better with the x1 than most I see with the m9, even with the greater dof. It\'s a real shame leica didn\'t speed the lens or camera up.
Yes that image would fit right in. On the odd occasion I garner praise(very rare) it is nice, but overall I don\'t think of leica right now as the photographers camera, and it should be IMO.
