I’ve been shooting the Leica M Monochrom for over a month now and absolutely love it.  I read a lot of reviews on it and most think it is difficult to shoot with.  Honestly, I’m unsure if it’s much different from the M9 other than post processing is a necessity and it has a high learning curve.  I think in the past few weeks I’ve started grasping what needs to be done and have tried to make the pictures a little more “contrasty”.  Here is an example.

 ISO 320 1/1500 sec f.95 50mm (Leica M Monochrom, Leica 50mm noctilux, Lr 4, Aperture 3)
