Hi, two pics of a male squirrel.
Leica M9 - Summarit 2,5/75 f 2,8 ; crop :
NIKON D850 - NIKKOR 4/70-200 f 6,3 ; crop :
The D850 has IS (in the lens), high res and an AF lens. The M9 performance is quite impressive against a strong competition, I think.
However, the D850 is much easier to use for pics like these. Focusing the M9 is not easy ... ---

Went out this morning (with the Fuji GX680) to photograph some of the boats at Heswall - shot two rolls of film 
and took a few shots with the Q3 along the way.

The Calm Ripple of Spring by Adam Bonn, on Flickrm9 and 28 elmarit
In fact funny story... (no it isn't Adam) my GF and I went to a picturesque little town we know well, mainly because it was warm there and we wanted lunch, but we bought our cameras
After lunch I thought well I may as well shoot something... reached into my bag and pulled out my trusty M10-R... only it was the M9, I'd had them both out a while back and managed to mix up their respective bags (so I had the M10r bag but with the M9 in it)
No big drama I thought.. then the M9 told me it was time to change the battery, only the spare charged battery was back home in the M9 bag!!
I managed to coax 29 shots out of it.. They say the M9 is like film, well it was that day I assure you

I still get alerts for this thread and, mistakenly, I scrolled back to the first couple of pages.
It's unbelievable how so many people can have so much disdain for a brand capable of producing just as spectacular images as literally any other brand on the market.

Ah but us Leica M users, with zero AF, best guess framelines, and WB algorithms that are quirky have to work a little harder do it

I recently rented a Canon R3 for the weekend to see what I was missing. I have many thoughts.
The internet is a dangerous place. Did you know, professionals don't use leica? Don't use manual focus?
