Look, everyone has their own opinion and style, if you prefer shooting B&W (with a Leica or any other camera) then fine, enjoy yourself. But for me, it seems many people have it wrong: HCB (and other) images aren't classic because they were shot in B&W, they are classic for what and how they were captured and just happened to be in B&W. Do you think Henri would have chosen to shoot that way if color was readily available? I have an M10 and purposely AVOID shooting in B&W because I don't want people to think I'm trying to make pedestrian images special by taking them that way. In other words, I think too many people try to take the easy way out: Instead of thinking carefully and working hard to compose a shot they just make it B&W. Regardless, I always appreciate the work people put into making videos, thank you.

You are entitled to your opinion. I like monochrome not because I think I am making classic images but because I enjoy doing so. It also reminds me of when I started my hobby 48 years ago. I do have an old film camera but I prefer digital and digital processing. I also enjoy my colour work. People make monochrome for many different reasons and it's probable their reasons are just subjective as yours. As we say in the UK, horses for courses.

I'm amused he can't pronounce his professed idol's name. But to your point, HCB was NOT a fan of color and it was readily available (he died in 2004, less than three weeks shy of his 92nd birthday). HCB believed color could not, and never would be able to, capture the full range of color in the world.

@@JB_Hobbies Not sure you can really compare black and white to color. Black and white is difficult, and also very different. You don't count on color to help, and getting the composition right and detail in the grays is crucial. You have to really be careful to avoid looking like just an old random snapshot. If you love to shoot color, that's great - it is a beautiful art form all its own. People are not pretentious just because they prefer black and white. Why can't there be room for us all?

If you shoot B/W film you would understand the creative possibilities you can achieve. The degree that you can reinterpret a scene tonally is far beyond the capacity of color photography. This notion that B/W imagery only has a 'snob' appeal or can be used as a 'crutch' to mask inferior imagery is in itself a form of snobbery. If you knew something about the technique of B/W photography and didn't learn the medium by simply pushing a button, perhaps you'd have a more enlightened opinion.

BTW I'm a hardcore Leica user M10 SL's etc So when I was invited to test the M10 mono paired with the new 90mm 1.5 lux I had over $20k in my hand. I brought the files back home and lets just say I wasn't blown away. Hmmm $13k for a 90 lux and I have a 75mm !.25 Noct that's lens! But the files from the M10 mono no big deal in my thoughts not worth the $8300 bucks. I'll stick to my M10, but having said that my new SL2 is crazy GOOD! it's amazing. So that's where my $$$ went to. Please don't flame me I'm a commercial and photojournalist shot for WSJ, NYT, Washington Post etc So I know a few things about cameras. Having a Leica M6 and using Tri-x is fantastic but a M10 mono shooting low light at 12500 ISO hmm doesn't make sense. How do you get a Tri-x look at ISO12,500?

And I am a senior citizen. :-) I envy you. I would love to shoot LEICA... though I was born with a "legally blind vision" of 20/1200. SUrgery made it worse. So I get by with SLR auto-focus, and oving the new "RF" glass.

A lot of respect for the constant refinement of this camera. However I opted to stick to Leica glass but use fuji for bodies. The film sims on the fuji, plus the optical purity of a summilux, create ooc results to an iPad that feels truer to modern street photography.... a color chrome jpg or Acros B&W ... I had a street performer who wanted a picture on the spot on his phone... he got a stylized print on the spot.

The M series cameras and lenses are manual focus and always have been. In adhering to the dimensions of the original M camera body - which is a must for the engineers and designers at Leica and a commitment that M camera users are grateful for - there just is not room in the M camera for the additional hardware that autofocus requires; same with dust reduction for the sensor. Manual focus is simply different, that's all. It is not really difficult to become accustomed to using manual focus; zone focusing (Google it) helps. A manual focus camera can be a challenge when photographing dogs at play or sometimes children at play, or some sports events. Beyond that, manual focus is very usable for day to day photography, street photography and reportage or documentary photography. For those who seriously want or need autofocus, the Leica Q2 may be the camera you want to consider, although it has a color sensor rather than the dedicated black and white sensor that the M10 Monochrome has. The Q2 has weather sealing, a 28mm f/1.7 autofocus Summilux lens and a 47mp sensor. The Q2 is light weight and very carryable for use as an all-around, do it all camera. It is also a great travel camera for those who are adherents of the one camera one lens ethos.

If you want to see what HCB saw, get the M3 and the 50. This new Leica with the big bulky lens is not what Henri would have used. Film has that soul, that unpredictability. Modern camera's think for the photographer while back then the photographer had to work for it and was often surprised because film has sometimes a way of capturing an image no digital camera can live up to. Perfection is boring. Sharpness is overrated.

What's the interest to buy a $8200 camera who deprives you of color images when nobody will see the difference with pictures done with a conventional camera (except some purists who crop 200% in the image) ? Moreover, it's impossible to sell a reasonable price on the second-hand market once the passing fad gone (see the typ 246).

The TYP 246 continues to this day to retain high value and it came out in 2015. Why buy a sports car if you can't seat 5 people? Not every car is just a car and not every camera is just a camera. I assume most people who own a sports car also have another 'family oriented' car. Most every photographer I know has more than one camera. I have a couple of film cameras myself and and haven't put color film in either of them in nearly twenty years. Because their is not Bayer filter array on top of the sensor, the light that would normally be filtered is reaching directly the sensor itself and also at the same speed. Green cuts less light than red and blue for instance. This is good for a full stop of more light reaching the sensor and the files this sensor is able to produce isn't currently being topped in dynamic range or shadow detail in anything smaller than medium format. As long as one correctly meters for the highlights, the results from the M10 Monochrom are stunning.
