Iso 2000 in the 240 looks like the iso 8000 in the 246 he says. And I think from all else I read this represents a conservative view. This is the difference between tri x and plus x. or tri x and Neopan 1600. Two stops to me is day and night. The thought they almost gave you an old 240 is mind boggling. The difference between a viable street shooting camera and one harking back in functionality many decades. http://www.reddotforum.com/content/2015/04/leica-m-monochrom-typ-246-review/ On 2/11/16 8:52 AM, "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> wrote: > I just got my new Monochrom yesterday as an upgrade because my M9 > was determined to have sensor corrosion.
