I have my Nikon SLR sitting in my house somewhere with a few Nikkor lenses. I am just too lazy and busy with kids these days. I will love to be able to do it again.
Unfortunately i have thrown away my perfectly functioning enlarger and all the film developing kit. sigh!

You may be right. I have not handled the M9M but the output at high ISO (10000) on the web has not really impressed me so far.
I wonder why is silver EP included if M9M is a true monochrome.... ?to justify the price

I would rather get another K5 instead. I have difficulties with a camera full of menus, submenus, submenus and OK, like a Canon. Even Nikon is not easy to use for first time owners. Pentax on the other hand, is the most user friendly SLR on the market. Coming from Canikon, K5 is so much easier to use.
