Leica M Monochrom: best pics

This is really good.

Many thanks -- I took about a jillion shots of Jack as he was talking with another farmer who was visiting from Alberta (this shot was in west Texas). Pretty much all shot with the 75/2.5 Summarit -- Leica's 'budget' short tele, but a super-sharp lens.

Thanks Vince,

I used the camera (center weight) but taking into consideration: The meter often under exposes on my Monochrom, and with the light flat, I over exposed a 1/3rd and 2/3rds which, watching my histogram the "readings" seemed safe to not blowout the snow/highs. I still backed it up bracketing -1/3rd.

Nice to see you are still posting w M9M Allen. and nice set here. I wondered if maybe you were going to move to the M10M. I still have my MM but have been preoccupied with my color bodies of late, but no intention to sell or look to the M10M myself. The look that the MM offers is still more than adequate for my needs. My sense from what I've seen is that there is a quality and "grain" or texture to the CCD that is it's own.

PS and welcome Swatch! I particularly like the quiet Sunday.

Hi David,

Yeah still rock'n the original MM. Almost 8 years now. I am seriously thinking about the M 10 M but not until late this year, early next. The quiet shutter, M 10 function, high ISO performance and NO LAG is a big pull to the M 10 M.

I have to say I am enjoying the M10 more and more as I use it :)

50mm C-Sonnar f 1.5

This is a piece of glass that I have at home that dates back perhaps to the mid-nineties. It is infused with silver and the smoke-like shape in the glass is a rich pink color. Mike is also a photographer, working in Medium Format, Tri-X and HC-110 rarely printing larger than 8x10. His images are rich in texture and reflect an understanding of light and his medium of B&W Gel Silver beautifully.
