Monochrom: First pics from Melbourne

[icebear]

I guess we should keep this to the Fashion Night Out thread and not completely highjack this one, don't you think 🙄 ?

I could of used a Monochrome last night for Fashion Night out. Instead I shot a Pentax 67II with a flash. It would of been a very different night shooting with a small camera without flash.

Yeah the Monochrom can do literally anything at ISO 10,000 and a fast lens

One of the things I'm wondering is what will the progression of this camera be as a model in their lineup? Will it just stay like it is currentlly for several years or will they keep developing the concept and work on better dynamic range etc?

I think an M10 version may be on the cards in around 12 months time. Who knows, if the M10 is amazing the B+W output may be even better, but the MP output would have to be at least 24MP to match it.

Congratulations, Kristian! Glad to hear your inspiring work with the M Monochrom is getting the attention it deserves!

Cheers guys. I've never been this excited to use a camera since having my Leica M6/MP. Having the ability to shoot at any ISO without worrying about file quality allows me to concentrate on the important stuff, so credit needs to go to this camera

Kristian,

I think this pushes me over the edge. I want a M9M badly.

It seems the M9M likes the modern ASPH glass a lot. This is good for me as I have a 28 Cron and a 50 Lux ASPH.

I wonder how the M9M does with retro single coated glass? I would expect less contrast, but vast mids. Old glass could be very creamy.

Hmmm...

Cal

It pushes older lenses to new heights as well 🙂🙂

Mucho good.

I'm number 12 now on the waiting list.

I think my 35/1.8 Nikkor in LTM will be very interesting.
