[Leica] Alternative to the Monochrom

[Tina Manley]

Yes, I have the Monochrom, which I will never sell, the M240, and the M9.
 I love the files from the M240, but in color.  Converted to B&W they do
not look like MM files.  The MM has greater dynamic range, or appears to,
and is much smoother.  It's hard to describe, but it looks much more like
what I used to get with TMax 100 or Scala film.
