Friend, I am rather torn between buying a pre-owned M Monochrom to pair with my M9, primarily to get better low light performance, or an a7rii to potentially cover all the bases. My hesitation has to do with the uncertainty of compatibility of my Leica glass, especially my Summilux 50mm ASPH, with the new Sony given the sensor thickness issue.it's nice to be able to balance the colors when making BW conversions. Anyone want a nice Monochrom?

Friend,The upgrade works amazingly well. I haven't done a systematic survey but the 21mm super-elmer is gorgeous corner to corner wide open, as is the 28mm Elmarit Asph. You really need to do this conversion if you shoot legacy Leica glass to realize the potential of this camera. Messes up resale value but this time I'm not reselling.
Highly recommended for Leica shooters.

That is what it is.My overtly skewed opinion:
Nothing matches a rangefinder for certain types of photography … namely working with as few distractions as possible (the antithesis of the Sony complexity of operation and viewing), and for more instant capture (unless the A7R-II has completely solved this issue).
That is what it is.

I'd say try before you buy.

I found it to be very good on centre at F4 on but the edges were really pretty soft at anything under F4 and as I have the 16-35 I found that it is better across the frame at f4. By f8 it is good across the frame and viewing 1:1 comparisons with the 16-35 showed a tad more micro-detail in the centre. It is though a fairly big and heavy lens and with the voigtlander close-focus-adapter weighed more than the FE16-35
