Leica M Monochrom: best pics

[DwF]

My MM should have arrived in NJ yesterday and will hopefully take it's place on a workbench there before too long! In the meantime, I have been enjoying many of the images here on this page of the thread (too many to mention).

But I will add that I enjoyed your series sdotkling and hadn't seen your posts here before. Then scrolling saw that same image by shiro_kuro that you later would pick out of the boy framed! I also was really struck by that one 🙂

I've been enjoying shooting mostly film that has been in the cool of a closet since about '03 and hope to process some B&W here before too long while my Leica gets a new heart.

I really like this one John, its clean and simple and yet there's something about it that I can't stop looking at.

Thank you. Much appreciated. - John

Good observation, Erik. Fits right in. I'd say the answer is, "Pretty far." Relatively effortless filmless film.

Very nice Erik, I think the Monochrom is about going back to the future, or maybe forging a new past! Without factoring in for inflation on price of gear 🙂

Thanks, David. I've only recently jumped to my first digital Leica, after many years of either shooting film in my vintage Ms, or hating every digital camera I ever bought before. My M9M is so close in feel to my film cameras, that I can admit that m-a-y-b-e I can live without a darkroom someday. (Or at least save it for the Medium format stuff.)

It took me a while to come round but I did. And M9 MM great cameras. Once you get immersed in digital, and want a smallish camera for color, try the X100S T or F!

I am enjoying film again but limit my processing now to film, and when I can get to it. I send the color film out. 🙂

I was wiped out all holiday weekend with a major cold, and by Monday had a pretty itchy shutter finger. i finally dragged myself to the back yard yesterday for a few shots. Feeling much better today.

Glad to hear that the cold is over.
Nice little series from just getting out into your backyard 😉, John.

Thank you. Sometimes you just gotta take a photo. 🙂

That's a great set John, really digging the first one!
