So they pitched the M Monochrome so this lens when it came out could do what it was designed to do. Show the split ends of a gnats eyelash from ten feet away. I hope the sensor at its slowest setting can equal slow film. Something close to Agfapan 25 or my signature film Panatomic X 32. Or Ilford Pan F 50. Then I;ll be a real happy guy. - - from my iRabs.
