Pros: The personalities that have always had the Leica M. Making black and white with a machine that can not make the color is much better, the concentration always stays on the BN release and there are no distractions of color. In practice, the brain always thinks in black and white. With a car that also makes color there is always the temptation to catch some color shots and is a reason for distraction and deconcentration from what you want to do, that is, the BN.rnCrazy detail, equal to a medium format.
Cons: Slow ignition times. Absence of multiple exposures.
Opinion: The Leica M Monochrom Typ246 is a crazy machine. What it means to shoot with a Leica M can only know who owns one, there is little to do. You do not have to try it for a few clicks, you have time to get into your logic, your way of acting, your way of doing photography. The most significant advantage of this machine is that its features help you discover your way of photographed, no frills, compels you to think, accompany you, always ready and reactive, giving you confidence; Feel that you are the one you are expressing, removing obstacles between you and your photography. For this I find it even harder to photograph with a M, if the photo is wrong you see there is little to do, it is sincere. These I think are the most important features I've known on the Leica M6 and I've found equal on the M Monochrom Typ246. Compared to the M6, however, the M Monochrom is slightly larger and I find this to be a shame because%3B the M6 ??has a perfect balance (with a Summicron 50mm pre-aspherical). Obviously, the D800e grip is all the more, keep it with two fingers with a 70-200 mounted, while Leica M should always keep it tight in hand without having any support for your fingers. There is an optional grip even with gps that I have never tried. In the snap approach, with the rangefinder, the absence of autofocus is absolutely an advantage, I find the rangefinder much faster and more precise. Obviously use it to make photography of sports or naturalistic would make little sense, in those cases the autofocus is fundamental, without taking these genres for me the manual focus with the rangefinder is perfect. The raw approach is completely different from the files in a reflex, the files look alive, behave in a very different way. A limit I have found with respect to the D800e is that burnt whites are hard to recover, high lights are cut off inexorably. If he gets half a stop, if it's okayOne stop. In the shadows, however, there are no problems, they are recovering well even up to almost 4 stops. For this reason, with Monochrom it is advised to underdrive at -0.3 or even -0.7EV, I must admit that it is uncomfortable to not be able to see the desired exposure in the preview. Also in the viewfinder it is uncomfortable to see the -0.7 of the exposure compensation that impacts the meter when you look into the viewfinder. So the shooting approach is all the opposite of the D800e with which it is preferable to over-display and recover the high lights later. With the orange filter you recover a lot and there is no need to underestimate it but still you have to be careful and be aware that the burnt areas will be irreversible. As for the iso, up to 5000iso the noise is almost nonexistent; The 12500iso makes the noise that the D800e does to 4000iso. I do not dwell on the detail and the clarity because it must be tested and seen with one's own eyes and besides it is a very influenced factor by 'Used optics. In any case, having the color bayer is as if the 24MP were actually 92MP. Apart from this incredible technical data, it is a machine that re-uses the intrinsic features of photography that, in my opinion, were, with the advent of digital, losing. It does not mimic a film machine, it's just a car that takes photographs as they always did before digital but in digital, with the benefits of preview, raw, reduced costs, and so on. With digital reflexes I do not have the same feeling. I thought that with the digital it had lost that "physical" relationship with photography, but now I have to rewrite, the Leica M Monochrom Typ246 has a completely different approach to the reflex, both in shooting and in the post. It is not a question of vs digital film or gamma vs reflex rangefinder. I started to shoot with an M6 and took it for 5/6 years. Then I went to the digital SLRs and started doing photography for work. Since I took the Monochrom the feeling I have is that coN the reflexes I lost time with regard to my photograph. Then for work it is obvious that the reflex is crucial because it allows you to do everything. With M Monochrom instead it is as if I had my M6 again but with the reels and the infinite specimens. So considering the exaggerated price, it was just for the time saving (very important factor) and for the cheap of rolls, development and specimens, it's worth it. I use a fairly intense use that I can not afford with the film. It is not a digital machine that imitates an analogy, has its own specific features that obviously the film can not have and that I need it. A bad note: to ignite takes a couple of seconds which I think are too many, the immediacy of the D800e I miss when I turn it on. Even when it comes back after the standby itself, too slow. The sensation you are taking with the Monochrom is that for the first time since the advent of the digital camera has come back to make a photograph as it had always done before the digitBut with the advantages of digital, in short, the first true digital camera. And who could make this utopia if not Leica. That is, those who invented the photography of the 900.nn The lenses I have are: Summicron 50mm (fourth version) and Tele-Elmar 135mm. I'm thinking of taking a Summicron 90mm (retractable head).
