The files, even on screen size jpegs, are just wonderful looking. I can hardly imagine a nice 16x20 or larger print. I have to admit that I am even thinking about the MM, in the far back of my mind, never having used a rangefinder camera. Maybe one of these days if I find myself in a large city, with time to spare, and near a good camera store that rents these, I might fork out some cash to rent the MM with a lens or two and give it a try for a day. Then again, maybe that would be a mistake. My R system at the time put me back quite a bit, but I do admit I enjoyed every moment with my R8 and lenses. The r4 did not thrill me, but was, at the time, the entry way into the system. And I do love the R lenses on my Nikon. I can shoot wide open and get better results than my Nikon glass stopped down 2-3 stops. Hardly any CA to correct, or distortions. I have held an M9 for a few minutes, but never actually used one. But this MM is getting tempting.
