Taken At The Dubai International Airport With An Ipod

Simple Symmetry Of Life

That's quite right Rob. Right now, I really cannot afford it but then it is only because of its price that I wanted to be sure if it is worth the investment.

Thanks again Leicaflex. Quite informative.

All you experts are actually helping me build a picture and nearing decision. Thanks to all of you. :-)

Lol .. What with about 7000$ for the body and nearly the same price for the gem of the lens !!!!

Thanks Dun .. U are right .. :-)

Thanks a lot Leicaflex .. What I read about this Monochrom was that in a colour sensor, the pixels are divided between the colours and black and white which compromises the sharpness but, in Monochrom, since it is "colour blind", all the pixels therein are dedicated to only black and white and, hence, it renders the best in sharpness.

Over to your analysis please.

:P .. Got the idea Sir. Thanks a lot.

Hey Friends,

We all are aware of this unending war between the brands and the quality.

As I know, all these brands, be it Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, Canon and so on, have compromised on the image quality when compared to their analog predecessors.

Leica, being in a league of its own, is still better when it is compared to Nikon or Canon (although, I have been a Nikonian all my life) when it comes to issues like sharpness, distortion and all.

But, we also know that Leica is quite a burn in the pocket.

Lately, I have been contemplating to buy the Leica Monochrom, both to OWN a Leica and to have a journey back to the pleasure of Black and White photography.

I would like to know from all you experts as to whether the investment in a Leica in the digital era is worth "the burn" ?
