onasj Posted February 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) The M10 Monochrom is a remarkably capable... sports camera (!). The incredible high-ISO performance plus 41 MP plus amazing detail capture is a dream for shooting sports. Yes, you have to get used to focusing fast-moving action by rangefinder. But it's really not that hard, and my hit rate last night at the Celtics-Magic game—much to my surprise— was quite a bit higher than either shooting the M10P, or even the Sony a7riii with state-of-the-art autofocus. Being able to crop heavily while still preserving plenty of detail at times left me in a state of disbelief. The photos in the album linked below were taken with the M10 Monochrom, 50 mm APO at f/5.6-6.3, 1/500 s, and heavily cropped as needed. ISO 3000-5000 typical... which is quite clean with the M10M. Here's a 9% crop (3.7 MP/40.8 MP) that still captures enough details to see the player's individual eyelashes (click the image below three times to zoom in to 100%). Crazy. Welcome, dear visitor!

Herr Barnack Posted February 7, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2020 M cameras are far more capable than most people imagine - it all depends on the level of skill of the person pressing the shutter release button. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onasj Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted February 7, 2020 By comparison, my color photos of NBA games seem so garish now 😂 Also, the variety of skin tones among many professional athletes makes for a natural monochrome feast.
