Do you notice that our cars seem to drive better after we’ve washed it? Or how we physically feel better when we wear our favourite pair of jeans? Sometimes the physical objects we adore can affect how we feel, making us better at whatever we’re doing. The Leica M Monochrom is exactly that, an emotional catalyst that changes how we feel and can improve our ability to take great pictures. No autofocus, no EVF with live histogram, no colour images, no 1 million dot LCD screen to check for focus? How can this camera possibly help us take better pictures? By its limitations, we are forced to use the M Monochrom as a tool and not a device (more explanation in my full review). We don’t depend on technology to take better pictures, we depend on our eyes and our hands… and the camera of course. This is where the Leica is a solid tool, it’s dependable, focused, precise. I promise to have my full review up next week, but please enjoy the above picture for now. I was walking through Chinatown
