[Leica] Comparing portraits with Noctilux Monochrom and film

[Don Dory]

Granted I am looking at JPEG's; but I think most of the differences are in
a slight tonal darkness in the monochrome image as well as a very slight
lack in micro contrast.   This is especially apparent in the upper midtones
on her cheeks.

Sensors or film really comes down to which tool you find best conveys what
you wanted us to see.
