> Digital is not always better,
People are currently getting excited about the picture quality of 4k and beyond. The old cinema film is, as I understand it, roughly equivalent of about 12k digital cinema. The way the work is quite different so it's not directly comparable.
- dingaling 8y agoSimilarly with photographic film, Zeiss continue to make a medium-format mono film called Gigagbitfilm which requires special developing but when scanned, in theory, can give gigabit images. Unfortunately not only is it mono but only ISO 40 so exposures are difficult.
- ksk 8y agoIf you were shooting a still subject, you could put a filter that excluded other wavelengths and capture the RGB channels separately on mono film and then marge them in post. I've been tempted to convert my digital sensor to mono-only by removing the color filter array to see if it made any difference. Also, I don't quite understand why ISO 40 would make anything difficult. I regularly shoot at ISO 50 on digital.

When I first heard of it I thought it was odd, but understanding how the sensor work I can see what an advantage it could be for B+W photography. https://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/LEICA-M-MONOCHROM https://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/LEICA-M-MONO... and https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/leica-m-monochrom https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/leica-m-monochrom for more details.
- ksk 8y agoYeah, it is a cool camera. Would love to play with one, but its a bit outside of my budget like most Leicas. Sigh..
