Leica M9 Monochrome

This is a GOOD camera !! The actual print out made from this Monochrome is absolutely fantastic, period !!!!

I won't go into the specs and what nots, simply because you will need to see the actual print made from this camera in order to fully appreciate this stunning piece of German camera. No review on earth is convincing enough, seeing a print out is the only truth you will need.

The overall size is the same as her brethren the M8, but the Monochrome exceeds her historical brothers and sisters in every single ways.

So this Monochrome is black and white only, but in my opinion, colors distract the image while B/W focuses only on the intrinsic nature of an image. By having this belief, I'm all good with having a Monochrome.

Hand held a Leica is obviously a must, or else why would you use a Leica??
The noise control is ....surpasses our ordinary needs. Who in the right mind would use ISO 10 000 ???? This Monochrome might just give you one of the best "Film like" noise, this may be the best excuse to set the camera at ISO 10 000.

Some said Monochrome will become a regular production, freeing itself from the numerical M series such as M8, M9, M9P etc. etc. and etc. !!! Others claimed the Monochrome will be limited production. Regardless, I'm truly impressed with the Monochrome. I just hope they can lower the price a bit so as to become a little friendlier on my pocket.
