Sure as in this picture of Phil , it's better in color than b&w

In color only you can see this vivid red  :D

You agree with me ?

Superb red

 

 

 

Fog is better in b&w and poppies better in color I think :D

Thank you yet again Henry. I think I was initially attracted to this as a colour picture because the colours are those of the French flag, which is of course seen all over Nouvelle Caledonie. and of course that is, in itself, a classic of minimalist design.

 

Yes, fog is definitely a subject where you are far more inclined to reach for a camera with black and white film. The grain in film especially lends itself to the subject.

 

Phil sure it's not the same IMO in comprison with your MM.

Please post pictures when you compare both cam. with same subject and lens

It'll be interesting for all of us :) Thanks in advance

Henry

 

Again, thank you Henry. I don't have a Monochrome camera. I was simply using the word monochrome as another term for "black and white".

.....The SWC is about it have seen a couple for sale recently and at reasonable prices too.

 

 

A more versatile and ofter less costly alternative is the Mamiya 7ii with the 43mm Sekor.  I personally prefer this to the SWC on most levels and used it very successfully for quite a few years.  The Mamiya 43mm lens is a biogon design and arguably superior to the Zeiss 38mm biogon of the SWC.  If I had to choose between the SWC and the M7ii/43mm, it would be the Mamiya.

 

Just my personal opinion, of course.

You like (or don't like) poppies but every year I go out  to shoot them.

This picture is taken few years ago with Kodak Portra 400

You can believe me, it's a real red , like fresh human blood ! :)

Fuji saturates a little this red

I like very much this look and captured at the right moment à la manière de Henri Cartier Bresson

Thanks Adam .  I know Ian is a kind gentleman but all know London is sometimes (or often) in the fog :D

It would please me to shoot fog in London  :)I will have to go within 2 years

Thanks Charles , you like this red isn't ?

I know well the color of blood for having often seen it :)

And red (of poppy)  is the perfect reproduction

... this is perhaps why I love this flower :D ..but to reassure you , I'm not Dracula
