Leica M Monochrom vs Leica M9
The M Monochrom comes with a price tag of $8,000(body only), you have to spend more on buying lenses, the best part of this camera is its dedicated B&W sensor that captures B&W images only, As the sensor does not ‘see’ colors, every pixel records true luminance values – as a result, it delivers ‘true’ black-and-white images that are significantly sharper than comparable exposures from a camera with a color-sensitive sensor.
