Leica M9.
11 years after its introduction, the Leica M9 continues to stand out.
In this video, we see it hold its own against the Hasselblad X1D, which has a larger and more modern sensor.
Imagine what would have been possible if CCD technology had continued developing?
My Open Letter to Leica ultimately fell on deaf ears (Leica never acknowledged it, and quite a few individuals in the Leica community openly ridiculed it). For those of you who signed it, time has proven you were on to something. As for the rest, you can still sign it, if you’ve had a change of heart 🙂
We, the fans of the M9 sensor, may not have gotten what we wanted, but years later the camera that was introduced in 9/9/2009 continues to prove to the world why it’s so special.

October Portraits.
I’ve been waiting on this roll for three weeks. Finally developed and scanned it today.
Three different kids, three different days, three different “uniforms”. These are just quick shots that I cajoled the kids into as they were rushing off to their various activities.
Same place (in the backyard).
But… the lighting was different each day, so the shutter speed varies between 1/60 – 1/1000 sec.
All shots @ f/1.4.
