Hi Richard,
Thanks!
Here is another one (no where near as good in my view) from the same weekend.
This one is from Oxford:

P.S. There are some more on my site here: https://www.peterdavidgrant.com/photo-journal-02/ although some of them might be Sony A7s shots as well...

Some recent ones that are all over the place style-wise. I'm searching right now! Lol.
Ps. The images appear so soft! What do you guys use to upload your pictures? Anyway to get them in good quality but still small enough?

A couple from my new Monochrom 246 (this is all I've had time to do near my house):

The camera and files are definitely different than the 'original' Monochrom. You don't seem to have to 'expose for the highlights' like you seem to have to do with the 'old' camera, so I think these files deliver a bit more flexibility.
Things I like about the new camera:
Its ergonomics: The camera is ever-so-slightly fatter than the original Monochrom, but it's hardly noticeable. Additionally, I like the little thumb rest by the adjuster wheel on the back of the camera;
Its sound: A MUCH better shutter speed sound. Does not have that shutter re-cock sound that the old one has;
Its viewfinder: Those LED brightlines are beautiful. I've been using the 'white' brightlines (you can choose red if you prefer);
Its screen: Bigger, clearer, just better all-round.
Things I don't like:
Its startup time: When you turn the camera on, the red light on the back of the camera flashes for what seems like an inordinate amount of time. You can't do anything until it stops flashing;
Its baseplate: I'm not a fan of the little locking key, but that's really a very minor quibble.
Really that's about it. I still need to familiarize myself more with the menu items, and in particular the various metering settings. But so far so good! I also need to get out there and make some meaningful photos with this beast.
