Digital BW, The Print

To be honest if they came out with this before the color M9. I might have been tempted.

But now I know better and I don't fit in that group. 

There are tangible improvements no doubt but one would need exceeding craft to full really bring out what the M9M can can do. 

so if you do work in that kind of tradition.. i think its worth it. I assuming the3 serious photographers only.. Personally my work is rough, raw and unpolished so... I can't do benefit from this new camera.

Also remeber that the camera is only 18 mp. which translate into a 13 by 19 print with 300 ppi. This 300 ppi would need you need to show the full extent of the beauty of the M9M's tonality.

If you work in large prints and so need to upres would the advantage still hold? I'm not ssure.

I think the Monochrome sensor still best serve medium format high res sensors.
