Just got my Leica M Monochrom which is a special order from Leica in silver chrome, I think it's the only one in the world, at least for now....   Now i'm off shooting.... 680513eff0fd573c373d32

Answer to your questions:   - How he organised getting a silver, and   * I just asked Leica if I could get a chrome one, easy as that, as i said early in the post...   - What the price was.

since an mm is exactly the same dimensions as an m9/m9-p, if you asked leica for a silver mm, it would be an easy job to swap out the original black chrome top plate without any engraving (except on the rear) for an m9-p silver chrome top plate, a silver flash hotshoe would be stamped out, as it is for every camera, add a silver baseplate & bingo..! i'd imagine this service costs extra.

I called my dealer about one. He's looking into it. Frankly, I think he was more surprised to hear about a silver MM than I was. I have a silver M9 and found that I like it much better than the black Ms I've had in the past.

Thanks Alexander, now I think I need one. Impressive at such high ISO. Nice takes.

 

I share the sinking feeling as desire rises!

 

The rationale is likely to be:

 

  • The M9 series is a one of a kind as it's likely to be the last (only) M with a CCD sensor. M10 is almost certainly going to be CMOS. In effect, you will never be able to "upgrade" an M9.
  • The MM offers a significant improvement in image quality over the M9 for high ISO black and white work. Getting one will extend what I can do with the M system without making the leap into a new sensor technology.
  • Decision: Get an MM and have both my current M9s converted to M9P (preferably with black chrome) and just hold on to them until they're prised from my cold dead hands :)

 

Well - maybe ...
