I have long been a fan of Leica’s Monochrome camera’s, but it’s hard to justify spending $7,450 on such a specialized camera, but sometimes you can find a used first generation Monochrome for around $3,500. Thankfully there is now another option. MaxMax.com offers a modified monochrome X-Pro1($2,450) and X100S($2,600). The demo images aren’t overly impressive, but they definitely show potential. Hopefully we will get some better samples from professional photographers soon.
If you’re interested in learning more about the processed used to produce these unique cameras petapixel has an article about them now.
