The future of monochrome digital photography
Countless iconic black-and-white photographs have been shot with the legendary cameras of the Leica M-System. So Leica thought it was time for a camera to continue this tradition and finally make it possible to deliver authentic monochrome photography in digital form: the Leica M Monochrom. It is the first full-frame, 35 mm format digital camera to be designed exclusively and without any compromises for black-and-white photography. It delivers ‘true’ black-and-white images in unrivalled sharpness and dynamic range. This makes the M Monochrom the perfect camera for anyone with a passion for black-and-white photography.
We are very curious if somebody has tried this camera already and is willing to share their experiences with this camera.

Paradise in Black & White
A very original choice to capture the turquoise blue waters of the Maldives in Black and White. The strength of the video, though, largely comes down to the choice of soundtrack: Nancy Sinatra’s moody, lilting rendition of Ain’t No Sunshine.
