Hi Tina,
I'm quite fascinated with the review of this new LEICA MONOCHROME (246). The
review results are quite amazing, peeking ones curiosity with wild and crazy
thoughts..... "GET ONE TED! GET ONE TED!"  :-) 

All my years of shooting B&W month long and longer documentaries for the
National Film Board of Canada was the source of my quotation.... "REAL
PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT BLACK & WHITE! THEY EAT SUSHI! AND DRINK SINGLE MALT
SCOTCH!" :-) But that was in the glory days of B&W film. :-)  

Of course with the advent of digital colour as a piece of cake every frame,
B&W was sort of pushed aside. But never for those of us from the "OLD SCHOOL
OF REAL PHOTOGRAPHY!" ;-) ;-) B&W of course. :-)

So now with what appears as the B&W shooting tool for the future or today? I
suppose B&W may well strengthen it's position on the screens, galleries and
magazines etc?

SO MAYBE A NEW PURCHACE? The only one SINCE THE M8? We shall see shortly.
:-)

cheers,
ted
