But with R glass dropping in price if that's true you can put those on with less light leaks coming in the cracks. As far as I go I need to figure out how to come upon seven or eight grand when the M9 gets to where I'd want it to be. I still have all my M glass and would much rather be shooting with it. Super comfortable though with the looks of nikon glass of any generation.
