Please stop me buying it

[Dr Jekyll]

I have a totally irrational urge to buy a Leica M9, mainly because I used to enjoy my M6 so much.

So far my reasons for resisting are:

It's a ludicrous amount of money for a hobby gadget.

A Lumix GF1 or a decent DSLR is a tenth the price.

My photography talent is non existent.

In a couple of years there will probably be an M12 with 100 million megapixels.

But when I see one my hand still twitches towards my credit card, so I need some more reasons. Does anyone else have this problem?

why not just buy another M6 and save £3k?

Buy it

Hope that helps

No problem.

Give me your money for safe keeping and I will ensure that you do not have enough to make the purchase. Easy.

Nobody is going to stop you here, can you get the M9 Titanium or are they all sold out? Stick a Noctilux on there and post all your results please

I'd love an M9!

Nice full frame sensor with no AA filter and lovly low ISO files.

Plus some special lenses.

Go for it, forget the titanium one though
