Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) Review | ePhotozine
Leica’s brand new Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) is the latest monochrome digital rangefinder, updating the original 18 megapixel Leica Monochrom, with a new 24 megapixel black and white CMOS sensor. Using a purely monochrome sensor there is no need for a colour filter or anti-aliasing filter, so there is no interpolation giving sharp images, as each pixel is simply used for detail. This also gives higher sensitivity and improved performance when using higher ISO settings. The camera shares the same size and body as the Leica M (Typ 240), but with a black matt finish which is said to be the most discreet Leica ever released, with no Leica red dot to make it stand out, which will be of benefit due to the value of the camera, having an RRP of £5750.
