So now I'll have to win the lottery so I can get that new version B&W for sure! Certainly give me a lift some days to get my body into moving again and out shooting once again! :-) The shot of the "PITH Helmut" old guardsman is quite interesting to see someone wearing a Pith Helmut these days. Even from the olden days! :-) But he's truly a B&W subject! :-) cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Henning Wulff Sent: September-14-14 7:41 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] More images with MM and more Thanks, Ted. Yes, I got a Monochrom a little while ago for a good (user) price. Last summer (2013) I got to use one for a couple of weeks. The files were so amazing, and also, having a camera that only shot B&W meant I was seeing things differently again. It's hard for me to see in B&W properly if the camera I'm shooting has colour as its default mode. In any case, while it still has the slow and small buffer of the M9 and M8, and can't even shoot compressed DNG files, all that is easily overlooked when one shoots with it and sees the results. I might keep this camera for a very long time. And I still have the M8. For infrared. Here's another Monochrom shot, taken from our deck at our place in Courtenay: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hwulff/various/L1007090-2.jpg.html Guardian of the sidewalk: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hwulff/various/L1006826.jpg.html All of these have to be seen large.
