[Leica] M Monochrom review in PDN

[billcpearce at cox.net (Bill Pearce)]

Is it possible that this is like the rise of people who stated clearly on 
the internet that it is not possible to shoot a Hasselblad and get 
acceptable results without using a tripod? Perhaps there are small bits of 
things going poof but not terribly noticeable? The internet is a home for 
mountains into molehills people.

If this is true, a back-of-the-envelope calculation tells me my DMR is 
already toast, it just doesn't look like it yet.
