Brilliant dynamic range, Leica M-mount has a large range of superb lenses, Basic and traditional photography controls similar to a film camera, Good at High ISO sensitivities
Viewfinder frame lines are only an approximation, Limited to monochrome, Prone to Highlight clipping
Mention the Leica M Monochrom and the question most people ask is, ‘Why would you want to limit yourself to shooting black & white only? Well, aside from the personal preference argument, the big advantage comes from doing away with the colour filters.Th...
Extremely highquality construction, Flawless picture quality across the entire sensitivity range, Ease of use, Excellent battery life (600 shots), Simple controls, Rangefinder
Considerable overall weight, No USB port, Slightly austere look, Slow to turn on
The Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) will certainly divide opinion; it's a radical camera, somewhere between production tool and creative aid. Ignoring the clear limitations (manual focus, bulk and relative lack of controls), the appeal of the Typ 246 lies in...

The Leica M (Typ 240) is the camera that many a rangefinder photographer has been waiting for. It fixes many of the issues of previous models, but it doesn't come cheap....
In updating the Leica M9 with more current features, one cant help get the feeling that Leica has slightly missed the point with the M Typ 240. Yes, the additions of live view, an EVF and full HD video are welcome (especially for Leica R-mount owners), b...
The Leica M Monochrom is one of the more fascinating cameras we've ever reviewed. It has an impressively well-built body that is designed for a very small niche of shooters who want a camera that does one thing extremely well at the expense of nearly ever...
