Finally got out for a first walk with the M10 Monochrom today, and I have to say that I have no issues at all with it. It just works the way I want a camera to work. Although a bit on the pricey side, and I didn't really need another camera, I'm very glad I went for it.
So I'm jazzed, the camera works very nicely, and I'm taking my time to learn it. I did some analysis of the spectral sensitivity with unfiltered lenses, with orange and green filters too, and have been comparing the results against what I get with the CL and my usual B&W rendering start points. The M10-M with an orange filter in daylight is not very far off my usual color-capture -> B&W rendering starting point. That makes rendering the M10-M files very easy ... so far, I've done tests of about 20 shots that are all but done with about 15 seconds worth of effort each. Very pleasing! Photos posts soon...
I know how right this camera is in that I stuck a strap on it, charged the battery, put in an SD card, and learned 3/4 of the configuration settings that suit me best within 10 minutes of my walk. I haven't felt so jazzed about a new camera in a while. I think it suits me.
onwards! G
