What I noticed is that the market for Leicas is REALLY small.
It took a few days for the Monochrom to circulate around my FB newsfeed.
Contrast that to the Nikon D800 that was "polluting" the social network airwaves months before it was officially announced!
Monochrom talk is just mostly confined within Leica forums.
Ok, going back to the original question... barring the price... hahaha... i like it.
I like the philosophy behind it more than the tech to be honest. To not have that "option" to decide on whether to shoot a scene in bw or color is a good thing for me.
