Leica has announced the M-Monochrom, a black-and-white version of its M9 full frame rangefinder. The M-Monochrom has no color filter array in front of the sensor, meaning better high ISO, it captures more of the available light but cannot perceive color, so higher levels of detail are retained. In most other respects, the M-Monochrom shares its hardware with the M9 and M9-P
The camera can add three toning colors to its monchrome output or its uncompressed DNG files can be edited using the included copy of Adobe Lightroom. A full version of the Silver Efex 2 black and white software is also included. It will cost around $7,950.00 or €6,800
Is it really worth the price? And higher price than M9 ?
