As they say: The future of monochrome digital photography.

A very interesting product.

There was a review on this camera on Digital Photography Review
I would love to get one for portraits and landscapes but I couldn't afford one.

DP Review says US$8K

Add the The Leica APO-Summicron-M 50mm f/2 ASPH for $7,195 and you will sleep in the shed for many years to come

Yet another example of Technology for the sake of 'technology' gone around in a perfect circle... leaving you back where you should never have departed from, but minus a heap of money...

Why not dust off your old 35mm SLR camera, scan the negatives and have them printed onto whatever medium suits the pic.

Cheaper than (nearly) EIGHT THOUSAND dollars...
-Plus you get to sleep in your own bed....

I do not use my Nikon film camera for long time and for very important reason (for me)
First it is hard to get good quality film and paper, seond I do not have room for a dark room and third I do not like to send my film to be developed.
With my digital Nikon cameras I can do as good job as with the Leica and with my PC and software I have a virtual dark room were I have control of my work.
Regarding $ 8000 for the Leica camera and $ 7000 for the lens with Nikon I can expend $ 20000 in a body and one lens but I am not prepared to do it so.

My comment about the price of the Leica was just for fun but not because we need that equipment to produce a good result.

I bet that Leica haven't been able to replicate the smell of Fixer when you copy the DNG files off it either.

There's a medium format Pentax 67 camera and lens on eVilBay at the moment.
