I really hope they keep the Monochrom line simple - when they finally update it and don't pile on video recording and live view etc. Leopold leopoldgreen at mac.com On 15 Sep 2014, at 03:40, Henning Wulff <hjwulff at gmail.com> wrote: > 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.
