I'm glad am back here too. Some of you might well remind me, some others don't even know me after so long off list and some others would still prefer I had never been back, Heheee. It's good also to hear of some familiar names meaning they're all still kicking around and shooting. And I have a question I'd mostly like to hear first hand experiences but am all open to all: my actual goal is a Monochrom. Unaffordable right now but things will be better sooner or later. I mostly do platinum palladium prints from digital negs. Saw the Monochrom in hands of this exceptional Portuguese photographer, can't recall his name now, and was also told by another friend I'd have to go to the big M. I do black and white 200% of the time so a M9 wouldn't make much sense except for the price gap with the M. The big question: as far as I've seen the big M is much sharper than others because of the lack of low pass filter, is this a real truth or could I save some money and get a M9 and make the files to go grayscale with no issues ? Warm regards to all in the list Pablo PS: I hope to help shake the tree here too Sent from my iPhone
