Abstract: LEICA is like a long tender kiss, like firing an automatic pistol, like an hour on the analyist's couch. Henri Cartier Bresson On May 10, 2012, in Berlin, Germany Leica announced the M Monochrom. I was there for the laun...

Classy raw files that are packed with information, Lovely colour and contrast straight from the camera, New rear screen is clear, bright and high resolution, Pleasuretouse body with first class lenses, Live View makes longer lenses easier to use
Exposure compensation button not always easy to use, Level tool only useful for tripod users, Menu could be easier and quicker to navigate

Extremely highquality construction, Flawless picture quality across the entire sensitivity range, Ease of use, Excellent battery life (600 shots), Simple controls, Rangefinder
Considerable overall weight, No USB port, Slightly austere look, Slow to turn on
The Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) will certainly divide opinion; it's a radical camera, somewhere between production tool and creative aid. Ignoring the clear limitations (manual focus, bulk and relative lack of controls), the appeal of the Typ 246 lies in...
Dedicated to monochrome shooting, No filters over the sensor or interpolation to reduce detail, Solid build
Dedicated to monochrome shooting, Leica cameras don't come cheap, Dedicated exposure compensation and sensitivity controls would be nice
A very fine specialist camera which comes at a price that reflects the quality of its build and engineering as much as it does its picture quality. Those brought up on autofocus DSLRs will find it difficult to get used to, with its rangefinder focusing an...
