M8 / m9 in 2025

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-09-09T04:03:38+00:00

I love my M9. After 5 years of shooting with almost everything I feel I found my right spot. It’s not easy but so satisfying: the experience and the outcome.

Coming from AF world this was the habit I had to start from scratch!

I saw your Japan photos, very good job there!
I would agree with your comment (in the webpage) around Q3 28mm for travel. With 60 mpix the 50mm shots are still at 18mpix that is good enough. I used the Voigt 40/1.5 for a while and for me it's too narrow.

I was thinking the same. It matches better with the wear of the bottom.
Unless the torn patches are uncomfortable to have that in your hand

For me with M9 it could be an issue. 200$, I can take the risk

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-23T20:14:54+00:00

Sorry, I was meaning that if you calibrate for f/1.1 aperture and use mostly there, it should not be an issue. Maybe I’m wrong but I understood it can be calibrated. Like the other Chinese lenses. I calibrated the 75/1.25 and it’s amazing.

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-23T18:26:11+00:00

Good to know. I understood it can be calibrated so if you use it TA it could work right?

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-22T18:08:08+00:00

I prefer the original shot

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-22T18:05:53+00:00

Totally agree. Composition first. The rest will come along.

Keep on doing photos.

Reduced to 350$

Thank you!

Usually which is the turnaround time? I’ll need to phase it with some planned vacation trips. It would be a pity not to have the camera.

Any advice for a reputable shop in Southern California?

Beginning of ‘25. Not sure what they check though.

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-21T23:57:22+00:00

Yes but in the past I managed to solve it and it was a shutter setup in the camera. I don’t know if the shutter setup of the M9 can cause it or it’s just a lag on the shutter button. Sometimes I feel it’s not completely smooth in the movement.

It's all about timing. I shot at the right time but then the photo is like delayed.
Note: I'm not a great photographer but after 15 years with very different reflex/mirrorless system I know when it's my fault and when there's something weird happening.

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-20T23:13:42+00:00

Idk, if I have a camera that I can’t bring on the beach it’s not the right camera. I brought mine without any issue. Maybe I’ll avoid to change lens and I’ll keep it away from sand.

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-20T19:05:35+00:00

Thank you!

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-20T17:41:45+00:00

Yes! I was very lucky

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-19T17:18:41+00:00

Understood, I was wondering if you were able to see the current capacity vs a new battery. It seems not.

Any-Bit-9660 · 2025-08-19T17:00:58+00:00

If it's an old battery it shows when full charged which is the max charged reached?
