If the M9 is overpriced which it might be, as are some other FF cameras in that case, then the M8 when you bought it was overpriced too. Didn't stop you then why should it now? If I had the money I'd do it in a second flat. Plus the 35mm Summicron and the 75 or the 90 as well. My fantasies are a little torn over the last one but I think if I have only 2 or 3 lenses then one should be the 90. All six-bit juiced and ready to go. One of the reasons the thing might be overpriced is that no one else in the known universe makes one. Or can make one.
