Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted September 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 19, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Are we likely to see a new M10 Monochrome?. 80% of my photography is now B&W, converting Leica Soo7 files to B&W is in my onion better than what you can get from the M246. But I'm not asking about the M246 I am asking if we think Leuca will make a M10 for B&W only...........I would be very interested in that especially with the better viewfinder that is on the M10 Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted September 19, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 19, 2017 How about the Monochrom S008 that's due out soon? It's said to do a nice B&W photo. I have one on pre-order.

Paulus Posted September 24, 2017 Share #8 Posted September 24, 2017 The Monochrom M 10 will probably some day arrive,because the concept is good, but will take it's time, ( a few months before the M 11 will arrive ? ) especially because Leica still is working to stock shops with M10 at a pace of 75 camera's a day.

johnbuckley Posted September 28, 2017 Share #9 Posted September 28, 2017 M9 release: September 2009 M9 Monochrom release: September 2012 M-240 Release: announced September 2012, but arrived end of February 2013 M- 246 Mono release: May 2015 M10 release: in stores January 2017 So, if it follows the 3-year gap between original Monochrom and its successor, we should see one in May of 2018. But if it instead follows the two-year gap of the M-246 following the M-240, I'm afraid we won't see one until January 2019. Best guess: somewhere between this coming May and the following January.

Eric1 Posted September 28, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 28, 2017 you can shoot black and white jpegs on current M10 which are pretty good in my opinion, at least with top glass. im most interested to see if they would change the Pixel count on a new Monochrom or just put in a new sensor like they did with the m10.

wlaidlaw Posted September 28, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 28, 2017 Would be worth Leica's while to develop yet another sensor for the M10 when it is likely to be pretty similar to that of the monochrome 246. I would have thought more likely that they will release at some future date, a monochrome version of the M-240's replacement. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a monochromatic camera you can't make any changes to color information after the exposure, whereas with color files you can alter the colors that construct the black and white image as you desire at any time.

Eh, Neil asks why this guys talks about filter when he didn't mention filters at all in his original post and now you start explaining why filters are used in b&w as a reaction to his question. It's almost comical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know... but he talks to the local rep, goes to Germany ~4 times a year... it's just my way of making sure he knows what I want And yes, I talk to the regional rep too.
