Hello everybody, I just came across the website of ARRI (for those of you who don't know: it's a big cinema camera, lens and light manufacturer from Germany). They build the Arri Alexa camera as a monochrom version, which I guess is similar in sensor design as Leica does for photography (increased resolution, higher dynamic range, more light sensitive...). One thing I can't find anywhere is: do the Leica monochrom cameras also have no IR filter and that's the reason why they render highlights and shadows in a different way? In all the reviews out there, no one is talking about that point specifically. Here's the link to the ARRI website: https://www.arrirental.com/en/cameras/exclusive-cameras/alexa-monochrome-cameras

This is curious. I have two Monochrom bodies and today shot through an IR filter (93) using exactly the same settings, lens, etc etc, just changing bodies. Both were processed in Lightroom syncing the settings. The difference between the results was revealing. Although it is not apparent shooting normally, the IR filter shows what may well be a serious problem on one of the bodies. Yet I cannot see a difference when the filter is not used. I repeated the test several times in different scenes and got the same thing. I sent the two images to Leica to see if they can explain what is happening. Anyone seen this before?
