Well, I have the lenses as well, and I will not even dream about buying it
based on the specs on paper. The Fuji X-Pro 1 and 3 lenses, or a Nikon
D800E body, together with Silver Efex Pro 2 will cost less than half the
price of the M Monochrom body. The Fuji has a silent mode where it makes
virtually no noise at all. It is also a steep price to pay to avoid
learning half a dozen new controls!
As Steve said, we have to wait till we see the results at ISO3200 and
above, to see if Leica have managed to perform miracles on a CCD sensor.
But this is my personal view. YMMV.
Cheers
Jayanand
