First and foremost, I would like to extend my thanks to Leica Store Malaysia for allowing me to test drive the brand new Leica M10 Monochrom with the amazing 50mm f0.95 Noctilux and 24mm f1.4 Summilux last year. I am terribly sorry on the delay in coming up with this blog post due to my heavy workload. Due to Covid 19 lockdown, I finally have time to catch up with my blogging once again which I miss quite dearly.

What can I say about this camera? Given the newly developed 40 megapixels BW CMOS sensor with the colour and low-pass filter removed, this camera has huge resolving power with amazing nice black to white tonality which can’t be replicated with a colour DNG file converted to BW. The details are amazingly sharp, tact sharp I would say. It’s the sharpest Leica M I have ever tested to date. I think this camera would pair amazingly well with the Leica 50mm APO lens! The ISO range on Mono also been extended to 100,000 as compared to the 50,000 on the M10P.

Shots below were taken with the M10 Mono with 35mm f2 Summicron ASPH and 50mm f 0.95 Noctilux.
