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

I’ve been playing with the Leica M 11 Monochrom for about a week now. At higher ISOs, I have noticed the presence and some images of a tartan-like grid pattern. At first I thought it was lights that was causing this pattern. Then I started to wonder if my sensor was defective. After reading a review, I noticed that the reviewer also mentioned that at ISO’s as low as 6400 a tartan-like grid pattern could appear in the shadow areas of the image. So my question are as follows: • Is this a defective sensor? • Is it something that can be fixed with firmware? • Are Leica aware of this issue. • Are there plans to address it this matter? High ISO performance is all well and good, but if the image is ruined by pattern noise, then it no longer becomes usable at those ISO’s. More concerning is the revelation that this pattern noise may be present as early as 6400 ISO. This discovery has taken the shine of this camera for me. I do hope for some good news from Leica soon.

I bought a used MM that had been to Wetzlar for sensor replacement and came with the certificate to prove it. Just noticed this in the lower left of the sensor (upper right on image). It kind of looks like a thumbprint but it wouldn't come off with sensor cleaner. Is this corrosion again?

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?
