It seems that everyone and his brother is attempting to get an M Monochrom review up (and to reap any attendant click-throughs, subscriptions, etc.). The technical discussions (or attempts thereat) do not seem particularly interesting. We can take it at face value (and if not that, then Erwin Put's tests) that the M resolves 20% more than an M9 and we can take it on faith that the camera is most sensitive to yellow-green light.
But what I find more interesting is what is sometimes between the lines of these reviews and sometimes out in the open: the philosophical development of reviewers; their relative competence with understanding the effects of color on tonality, and their overall skill levels in photography.
My personal editorial comment is that after seeing these pieces, I am less interested in what these people have to write - whether about the M or anything else. What's your take?
