[Leica] New Leica Type 246 Monochrom

[Howard Ritter]

Phenomenal low-light performance at ISO 6400—much better than the MM and just blows away the M240. As he points out, it could be a real boon for f/16, 1/2000-and-be-there daytime street photography as well as available dark.

And BTW, where’s Hoppy been recently? My LUG mail has nothing from him in the last month. Did I miss something in one or another of my weeks away from keyboard?
