As a film photographer, I have spent years struggling to find a digital camera that gives me the same experience I have shooting with 35mm film cameras. The Leica M9 is about as close as it gets. From its Kodak CCD sensor, to its 35mm like film limitations... The M9 is the quintessential film shooter's camera, and in this video I do my darnest to explain why I think that is.
