Wow - that is a dramatic sky! I haven't used any coloured filter yet. May I ask what kind (grading of yellow?) or make you used for this photo?

It is a low density leitz (between 0.5 and 1), perfect for cloudy days. The orange I prefer it for blue skies with some white cloud.
Processed with lightroom, and for the sky part, a gradient of underexposure (1 step, sometimes 0.5 steps).
 
Best regards

Thanks for the reply pibitller! I know next to nothing about the use of filters but I'll see if I can find something at my dealer.

Hi All.. you might think why and i am sure there are many reason for what i am about to ask to go yes or no.

So.... i have M240 and very happy with it. I love my lenses and images. But.. but the black and white started appealing me and now comes the big question:

Is it worth investing in Leica M Monochrome even if i have M240? Is this colorless filter which Leica says they have in M246 make that much of a difference that MM will be totally different then the M240.

I have non knowledge but if i convert the M240 images to black and white on computer or shoot B&W with my M240 will there be a huge difference? Difference worth paying for another camera?

 

At the beginning when it was launched I never felt the need of getting the black and white only camera and not having the choice of color images, but after reading all the difference between M and the MM is there anyone who can explain if it really matter to get M or shall i wait till the M10 Monochrome comes out we see what that has to offer.

Sledding fun after a day of fresh snow at the Titus Sparrow Park, Boston, USA.  

 

The Prudential Tower aka The Pru (square building with the radio tower) is one of the first real skyscrapers built in Boston (1964) - it's still iconic and IMHO, still beautiful.  M246, 35mm Summicron.  Thanks for looking.

MM + UC-Hex + W-Nikkor

Ah Dirk, despite all the un-love of M246 it was not all that difficult to post few pictures, thanks for that :-)

Haha, yes Mladen. Although I am very critical of the M246 it does not preclude from the device being used for what it was made.

After all you have to p… with the c… you have got ;-)

 

Swapping this body for my beloved MM though still feels a bit like in "imagine the drill being positioned about 30cm towards the lens and feel the pain"

I do shoot mostly film since I lost the MM, the MM was my everyday major picture maker - I loved it.

The M246 is just a convenience camera for when I don't feel like developing or waiting for pictures.

Think of it like a slightly better iPhone camera if you will.

Been staring at a bunch of walls apparently.

So many walls that I guess I needed a beer at our local brewery

And maybe the first time i've thought I might actually like the result of internal lens\filter reflections.
