M9 Digital Camera

I use it as a back up for my digital camera.

It was badly needed for my Leica M9!

Perfectly fit for Leica M9.

So nice to use my M9 without my eyeglasses.

I love this camera it is the best of the best for a digital camera.

I have been a Leica rangefinder camera man all my life, M4, M6, and now the M9. My old Leica M lens are still very nice, but when I mounted the 75mm lens to my M9, the shots are beyond belief, the sharpness, contrast, and bokeh are so refined, it is like capturing life at that moment. Moreover, you can take very close up shots with this lens. Leica lenses just are amazing.

Excellent build and looks great. Easily the best camera bag of this size that I have found to date for use with my Leica M9.

I have only used this lens once, shooting about 50 pictures on my M9. I would rate this lens as tied for the sharpest of my Leica lenses (a position jointly held by my 28mm and 75mm Summicrons).Physically, this lens is very solid, not too heavy (particularly when compared to the Noctilux) but you'll know you're using a fine camera lens. Focus is very smooth with no resistance yet no wander or creep in the focus if it were too loose. Typical Leica.Image-wise, the detail that this lens captures when using my M9 is beyond words. I took a photo of an old brick brewery building in downtown Albuquerque from about 200 feet away. When I looked at the photo at 100% in Photoshop CS6 (after converting from RAW to psd in Photoshop Camera RAW) I could make out the heads of bolts on a metal bracket attached to the building. Amazing!Shooting into the sun produced no flare and almost no detectable CA (purple fringe).On a negative note, I purchased this lens in late-July. It arrived DOA. The lens hood, which is built-in to this lens, was broken. It would pull out as it's supposed to but it did not stop pulling out. I complained to Leica that this should have been caught in QC (after all, each Leica lens comes with a certificate signed by the final inspector). Normally Leica makes one send in a lens for warranty repair on the owners dime but my complaining resulted in Leica picking up the tab for round trip shipping (good Leica!).So, two plus months after buying this lens, I've finally gotten to use it and I have to say, it was worth the wait.If you are using a Leica M camera and can afford to use Leica glass, then I would very highly recommend this lens. You won't be disappointed.

I have always been a Leica user for many years, started with the M8, M9, Monochrom, now the Q2, this is simply an amazing camera, plus with my aging eyes, autofocus helps in so many ways, the high iso is the best of any camera, even the Sony IMO. The 28 mm with crop factors work excellent, esp for 35 & 5! The tonality and draw if the lens esp at 1.7 work for almost every situation! Buy it you wont be disappointed
