[Leica] More images with MM and more

[Leopold Green]

You've brought out the drama of the sky in your Courtenay... very striking! I agree with your comments about the Monochrom - the M8/9 never tempted me away from my M4 & M6 but since getting the Monochrom I haven't really touched film [I'm slightly slightly ashamed to say] ...

I really hope they keep the Monochrom line simple - when they finally update it and don't pile on video recording and live view etc.
