I say this as a 100% film shooter: The M-M files can be adjusted. The samples posted haven't been adjusted to provide them that kind of tonality. It's probably there if you want it. Shooting shiny metal things helps too.
Nice looking picture by the way.

Meanwhile, many continue to enjoy the great camera the M8 actually is despite your lack of trust in them as users.

I agree.
I happen to enjoy great cameras as well.

I can't see any amount of adjusting making the Monochrom files match the range of tonality of film - it simply isn't in there to bring out. That doesn't mean it can't produce great shots -they are just different from film.

^--- Are you saying that the photographer pointed the camera at a middle grey and moved the aperture ring and shutter dial until the little red dot between the two arrows lit up, or are you saying that he didn't do that?

I could not understand your point. The sample pictures were not taken by me; they're from an independent test site: Ephotozine. If you are able to provide better samples then you are most welcome. Also, if you're against the X-Pro1, then we can supply some samples by the Nex-5N, for example.

I took a look at the monochrome shots. I have to say that I am so so glad I never fell for the Leica 'Emporer's New Clothes' bs. I loved my M6 and the lenses. But I'm a photographer, not a doctor or lawyer or rich industrialist. So I'll just fondle my XP1 tonight before I go beddy-bye and thank God for giving me the common sense to see through the Leica bs.
