Leica M9

Hi.

I was a very lucky boy today.



Today I got to play with my friend Ravnish’s Leica M9. And by strange coincidence he wanted to have a go on my new Panasonic 7-14mm lens. So a temporary trade agreement was reached.

It was awesome.

It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking awesome.

But that awesomeness comes at a price, $7000 to be exact, that’s a lot of rolls of film and developing.

That’s also a lot of cola bottle lollies, over 593kg to be exact.

But if I had the money I would own one in a heartbeat.



I even did a little lens wideness comparison between the 12mm on the M9 and the 7-14mm on an Olympus EP3. As you can see it’s not that much wider, about 7º. So that works out to be $1000 per degree for that extra wideness. That heartbeat just got a bit longer. Can’t do video on a M9, longer again. Don’t have the money, call it, time of death 9:14pm.
