[Leica] More images with MM and more

[Ted Grant]

Hi Henning,
HOLY Mackerel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The shot  frm the deck is quite amazing to say
the least! So now I'll have to win the lottery so I can get that new version
B&W for sure!  Certainly give me a lift some days to get my body into moving
again and out shooting once again! :-)

The shot of the "PITH Helmut" old guardsman is quite interesting to see
someone wearing a Pith Helmut these days. Even from the olden days! :-)

But he's truly a B&W subject! :-)

cheers,
ted

Thanks, Ted.

Yes, I got a Monochrom a little while ago for a good (user) price.

Last summer (2013) I got to use one for a couple of weeks. The files were so
amazing, and also, having a camera that only shot B&W meant I was seeing
things differently again. It's hard for me to see in B&W properly if the
camera I'm shooting has colour as its default mode.

In any case, while it still has the slow and small buffer of the M9 and M8,
and can't even shoot compressed DNG files, all that is easily overlooked
when one shoots with it and sees the results. I might keep this camera for a
very long time. And I still have the M8. For infrared.

Here's another Monochrom shot, taken from our deck at our place in
Courtenay:

All of these have to be seen large.
