It is very impressive, I have not liked my M9 converted files but liked 
(understatement) the MM from the off. Most converted stuff I see is too 
contrasty with no subtle mid-tones, of course looking at JPEGs on the web 
makes a difference.

http://www.johnmcmaster.com/PAW/2012/38/content/L2000952_large.html is 
2,500ASA 

http://www.johnmcmaster.com/PAW/2012/39/content/L2001388_large.html is 
10,000ASA (1/60th at f1.4)...... I think I will be trying 5000ASA or 
10,000ASA with a 1.8ND in daylight for a while as I like the look!

This is what has me in full pondering mode.  I have not yet seen results 
other than what I have seen on my monitor but what I've seen so far has got 
me really impressed.
