Thread: Detailed review of the Leica M Monochrom

Red Dot Forum - Leica M Monochrom Review

Interesting review. Thanks for posting!

It is intuitively obvious to the most casual of observers that a Monochrome camera will produce better monochrome images than a color camera...

You cannot believe the arguments that I've had over this during the last 10 years.

Now- take a Foveon sensor.

Make the cover over the first layer completely clear.

The second layer should have a 4x neutral density filter over it.

The third layer should have a 16x neutral density filter over it.

use 14Bit ADC's for each layer. and add the layers.

Leave the IR absorbing glass of of mine.

'nother review of the M-monochrom, this time from the man who still spruiks the legendary DL2.

.....the more I read, the more this camera makes so much sense.....if only it had a little more headroom.

Mark, I feel you're in danger of taking a second mortgage on your home or whatever.

It is not only you and I that share in that fear Pavel. My better half has seen the browser tabs.....as well as the price. I'm not quite sure why she gets so worried.....nor why she sees anything wrong with living the life of a gypsy? We'd make perfect Romany....I'd document our travels from the back of a wagon pulled by her horses.

What more could anyone want?

I've been using the M9 Monochrome as a good reason to clear out some shelf and drawer space.

How did I get so much stuff!

Brian, happy to help a fellow in need. I'll shoot you a PM so you have my address to mail across any of that pesky and intrusive Leica film ware.

Thirty Leica Lenses. How does that happen.
