Hi, to celebrate
10 years of Leica M9 ownership a few early M9 pics. These were the first I kept; from a weekend trip to Leinsweiler/Pfalz :
The view from our hotel room :

And I also played around with other cameras then:

I am very happy with my M9, so much so that I bought a second one. It never let me down and always did what I expected it to do within the limits of the design.
The M9 is complemented by SONY and NIKON cameras. This way, I use it for what it is best at: Casual photography on sunny days ...
Using it exclusively might lead to lower satisfaction.
I see the M9 in car categories as a Mercedes G, LAND ROVER Defender (old model) or a MORGAN, which offer traditional designs with a few modern ingredients. And owning one
of these cars as one's only car might not be that pleasant ...
What will the future bring? I shall keep and use my M9s!
This Thursday the new M10-R is rumored to be announced. We shall see what it is really like when the first real experience reports of private owners are published,
after all the influencers' and marketing-hype-wave surfers praise ...
P.S.: All you ever wanted to know (or even more, perhaps ...
) about Leica and Leica lenses :
