The LUG can be a very?harsh place, if you're not part of the 
"in-crowd."?Welcome to the "out-crowd".

I understood that you had just plunked some serious cash for your M9 and 
were excited to use it and show off the results. What the hell's wrong w/ 
that?

Aw, c'mon, that's a little harsh!? By the time the camera came in and I
got out the door on this, the first day I've had it, I had about an hour
of watery grey winter light left.? I kind of like the paired yellow/green
subjects I stumbled across.? And as for the Noctilux, I bolted it on the
camera because it's been a challenge to love on the M8, and I wanted
to see if I had a higher hit rate with the M9 for any reason.? It's not
like I went out and *bought* a Noctilux to take digital pictures of
sweepy-brush things, I bought it years ago when it was my magical secret
way to get to use film with tighter grain than T-Max 3200 even in dim
bo?tes.

You don't like the light on those bristles, or the stoplight/hanger/building
pattern?? I thought they were pretty neat.

Here, would you prefer a nice picture of a laughing Tony Shalhoub being
interviewed by a man in his underwear?
