    The New LEICA M-P: Discreet, Faster, Harder

    They threw it in for an extra $1k. I'm glad I just picked up a silver MM; the future 240 based MM coming in at $10k is a bit to much in my mind.. Or it had better use a newer sensor like the 645Z or IQ250 w/o the bayer array. -Paul

    Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

    I'm really starting to fall in love with this camera. Slightly out of focus - not as amazingly crisp as the other images taken with the same lens, but with a little added grain, the shallow depth of field reminds me of a large format portrait in a sense. The 4x5 photo wouldn't necessarily have...

    Thanks! I like what you've done with it. I knew that the pic was blown out, but wanted to see how noticeable it would be on a large scale print. It isn't too bad. I definitely wouldn't sell a print like that, but for home use, I love looking at it :) I'm still in the learning phase with...

    Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

    Thanks! I used a 90mm APO summicron. I had to crop it a bit as I was at the minimum focus distance as it was. The lighting consisted of a medium soft box + grid, camera left - perpendicular to the subject. You can make out the grid lines, which seem to blend right in with his pupil in a...

    Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

    I was curious to see how the MM would do with studio lights.. It was rushed, and the kids were impatient, but overall, I am happy with the tonality/detail.

    Monochrom and zeiss lenses

    It has been awhile since I have travelled overseas and was briefed on various threats (pickpockets, assaults, cons, drugging, etc). Back in the day, I travelled with a Canon D30 (the 3MP wonder DSLR). Most people assumed that it was a simple rebel film camera, and I took precautions to keep...

    Fun with the Leica M Monochrom

    Playing around with the processing of this one... I love the detail. I've ordered a 30x40 test print from DSI. I'm excited to see what the MM prints look like when they are exposed on traditional analog Ilford RC. Hutchins Redux And now for something corny.... corn
