M9 and S2…

I was just curious how often would you use the S2 and how often the M9…
After some months of heavy S2 use I am re-exploring the M9 those days and sometimes I even wonder if I need any better IQ than the M9.
Yes-the S2 is sharper and color more neutral…and of course 37mp is more than 18mp.
But then the M9 is so unobstrusive, portable, and the lenses-without being perfect have a special rendering-mmmhhhh.

Yes, the M9 is very versatile, and has its place even in the presence of the S2. I’ve also been using my M8, especially in high-IR environments.

I took only the M9 on a recent vacation trip… with less bulk, very easy to carry and pack. I had a UV/IR Cut filter on its 35 Summilux ASPH to suppress even more IR, and also to slightly cool the warm corners from the camera’s overcorrection.
