Leica M Monochrom: best pics

I'm glad to be able to participate in this tread again, with the arrival yesterday of an M246. I swapped my MM1 for an M6 three years ago in a return to film initiative. I'm thinking now that experiment might be over and am considering a return to digital with the Monochrom.

A few get-acquainted-with-the-camera shots from walks this morning at the Theosophy Center and our local equestrian facility. All with the ZM 50 Planar.

Thank you guys. I waffled a lot between an M246 and M10, but finally decided I prefer an all-BW workflow and no conversions. I think I'll enjoy it. Maybe we'll be back on the city streets by next spring or summer.

Same feelings here, Helen. It's very different feature-wise than the MM1. I'm reading through the manual so I don't miss anything.

People say the Planar is a high contrast lens, but it seems pretty even tempered to me. I hope to get a vintage 50 as the budget allows.

Allen, I'm keen to get back downtown regularly again. Part of my retirement plan was to spend a day or two there photographing. Alas....

I though that you might really like it. I still love my original MM. Think I might pick up an M 10 M at some point in the future. I really like the way the M 10 functions.

Happy holidays to you also. Lets all hope for a much better 2021.

Hey John,
I was really planning on going into the city more to but like you. For me it is only 15 minutes in on the blue line so really no excuse. I haven't been shooting much of anything lately. We were in the Fla Keys and Key West the first part of Nov and I did a fair amount of shooting when we were there but really not much since. On well. Like our famous sports words "next year".
