[Leica] Halloween with the Monochrom

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

I have been playing around with Tina's DNG files which she  sent to me, as
well as files that Greg Rubenstein had also sent to me and I must say that
the results from the M Monochrom are exemplary. Looks like Leica has hit a
home run with this one. I must add though that the DNG files from the MM
are not necessarily better or worse than shooting with other camera bodies
and converting to B&W, just that they are very good in their own right.
Cheers
Jayanand
