jdlaing Posted May 29, 2015 Share #21 Posted May 29, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Spending upward of $7,000 on a Leica M camera and using it exclusively in the less than "class-leading" live view mode is absolutely foolish and a big waste of money. As long as the good eye is the one you use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted May 29, 2015 Share #22 Posted May 29, 2015 I think it was a fair reveiw, and the one street photo included in the review was quite convincing. This publcation obvioulsy favors CMOS sensors, and hence the comment: "The image quality on previous Leica M cameras has never been of class-leading quality, but the new CMOS sensor has brought Leica forward a lot." They have a bias for CMOS, I have a bias for CCD. Other than that, I saw it as a very favorable review. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted May 30, 2015 Share #23 Posted May 30, 2015 Not too bad aarticle for a guy who is not an RF buff like us. I sure liked the lens they gave him to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul20 Posted June 2, 2015 Share #29 Posted June 2, 2015 One of the cons listed against the new Monochrom camera is that it is "Limited to monochrome". That's like saying - I love my pet dog but it's not very good at being a cat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2015 Share #30 Posted June 9, 2015 Its years since I read a camera review in the AP . Their was usually a comment along the lines of " the camera produced a punchy set of prints" . It was a lot better when Victor Blackman wrote a column and tested cameras as part of his job with the Daily Express I think ? It was a long time ago.
