Hello Steve, All I have to say is... "H_O_L_Y C_R_A_P". That is a stunner of an image for my tastes. The details, shapes, the colors, etc etc - a technical tour de force. Gorgeous Spring time in the Neighborhood Image, too. Based on that image alone, I'd buy a 24 Summilux/M9 - but alas that's not gonna happen unless I can plant nickels and grow a money trees out back. :-) Query: Did you own a M8 before getting the M9? An '8' is penciled in (more like sharpied in) on my 'To Get' list and I'm wondering if you'd 'warn' me off it based on experiences you may have had.
