Q2 43 Monochrom thoughts

Since the 61 Mpx sensor is an AF issue for a monochrome camera, would you consider a 47 Mpx version with a 43mm lens? You wouldn’t really need the extra pixels as much if starting with 43 mm. A tilt screen would be nice.

As mentioned elsewhere Sony would need to develop a sensor that can work with. PDAF. So far they have been silent on that.

Yeah, I agree with you Richard. Rather than the extra pixels (61 million vs 47 million), I’d like the 43 Apo Summicron over the 28 Summilux.

Right, hence the 47 Mpx sensor but with the 43mm lens..

Which 47MP sensor with PDAF?

seems unlikely they would put old sensor and AF technology in a monochrome version. If you want monochrome with a longer lens you need the M11M with a 35 or 50 and the Visoflex.
