Taking the Plunge
Ever since I had the chance to play with an M8, I've wanted to add a rangefinder Leica to my arsenal. I started putting money on buying a used one last fall and went to see Gary today with the intention of taking one home today. Well, as it happened, an M9 came in from Leica this past week so Gary put it in my hand, pointed out the places it was scratched and told me that it was $2500 less due to its external flaws. After thinking about it, I realized that I had the chance to go full frame for a good price and with some prodding from Pete, I decided to get it. So, barfy feelings for the price tag aside, I am now the very proud owner of of an M9.
