Congrats Brian.
Glad that finally you received it.
what you do like the most about M Monochrom? Resolution or High ISO capabilities. Nice pics btw especially the young girl you took with J3/ Nice contrast on the Nikon 10.5 cm
Best,
Riko

Thank you Jack MacD and David K for the suggestion. I may try to keep m9-P for color and daytime work and use m monochrom for low light, night, personal projects. Not sure how wise it is to spend that kind of money. I barely explore the possibility of making great b&w rendition by way of conversion from m9-p which I think there are some potential disregards the high ISO and better resolution in m monochrom,
Though I need color for client works.
I may need both.

Hello everyone,

I am new here. I just started joining various forums for Leica and RF recently. Got my M9-P, Nov last year – I did not know that Leica was going to launch M Monochrom – otherwise I would have waited. Bummer. As a long time user of M6 with B&W films (missed using agfa 25, ilford 50 & tmax 3200), I probably would have waited and not to purchased M9-P. Now I am thinking of getting M Monochrom and sell M9-P.

I am just curious if anyone has received M Monochrom. If so, what is the wait time and from which dealer?

Hello Brian,
Can you shim Jupiter-9? If so, what would be the cost?
I have one that cannot focus correctly with my leica m9.
I only need it to focus close distance. Both if possible.
Thanks
Riko
