Our own Steve Meltzer offered his provocative take on the Leica Monochrom M last week and now here's a video "review" of this $8K black-and-white shooting digital rangefinder.
But before you take this "first YouTube review of the new Leica Monochrom" too seriously, be advised that it's clearly meant as a joke.
And it does have some funny moments including the strange...
Someone posted this hilarious photo (below) of Bill Murray shooting with a Minox camera in one of the forums on Reddit and we just had to share it.
If you're interested in the camera Murray's using -- a miniature replica of a Leica M3 -- you can buy one for $179 at Photojojo.
Not a bad deal considering it's no toy. The 3.8-ounce Minox M3 replica records 5.1-megapixel images...
Leica has gotten a lot of press in the last few days between the record-breaking auction of a 1923 Series-0 camera for nearly $3 million, to the announcement of a digital rangefinder that shoots only in black and white: the 18-megapixel Leica M Monochrom ($7,950).
Reading these reports including what we’ve written here on Imaging Resource, I must admit my initial reaction was...

The 1923 Leica Series-0 camera is one of only 25 prototypes produced to test the 35mm...
In addition to testing the Leica M9-P camera, we managed to put the $4,000 Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux through its paces in the SLRgear test lab. Click here to read our full review of this lens!
Shooting with the Leica M9-P and 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-M lens taught us a lot about why people love Leica cameras. But we also learned why most people don't shoot Leica rangefinders, and it isn't just about the very high price tag. Shooting with any manual focus, aperture-priority camera is a little more challenging than most people are used to. Once we got back into the swing of...
We've just posted test shots from a Leica M9 (an M9-P, actually), taken with a Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens!
The Leica M9 is based around a Kodak 18-megapixel CCD image sensor with approximately the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film, making it the smallest full-frame digital camera. The M9 accepts most Leica M lenses built to date, and thanks to the full-frame sensor, all...
