Leica M11 Monochrom Review: More Money for NO COLOR?!

It's fantastic to see Chris and Jordan back in action. Only the channel name's has changed, the vibes, the energy, the fun... it's still remains the same ❤️

We're glad to see you two back at it again and are excited to be able to partner with you and Petapixel to bring more amazing camera reviews like this one to the photography community! 🧡

Let's go 🎉

Congrats and wish you guys a long lasting collaboration 🎉 Petapixel, thank you for this possible continuity 👌🏻

You guys killed it on your first episode for Petapixel! Congrats, and can't wait to see what's coming.

Thank you PetaPixel for saving the legacy of Jordan and Chris! The photography community will be forever grateful.

Yay. Great to have you guys back. I love shooting black and white, but I think I'll always prefer using a colour array sensor to do it. I like to be able to adjust contrast and colour filters in post, rather than physical filters. Oh and I don't have a bazillion pounds to pay Leica money.

A rainy/snowy day in Sweden is ok, when you can spend some time infront of the computer with your favorite camera reviewers on Youtube! Great to see you guys again!

Great start to the first episode and love the adventure and coverage of the M11 Monochrom. Would have loved to see more high ISO low light shots though given their crazy ISO capability.

Welcome back guys! Can't wait to see you review the PENTAX K-3 Mark III Monochrome It is 1/8 the cost!

The magic continues! Thanks Chris, Jordan and the great folks of PetaPixel for keeping this series alive. And the M11 M is a perfect starting point. Onward!

Amazing to see you guys back — good on PetaPixel for scooping you up! Well done on a smashing first episode!

Highlight weighted metering is where it's at with this camera. This thing is amazing. It's got 15 stops of dynamic range, same as the X2D but with more effective resolution (though yes "only" 14-bit instead of 16). Day one with it, I put on a 24mm Elmar with dark red filter, cranked up the ISO to 25,000, and kept the lens around f/11-16 with a shutter speed around 1/250-1/1000. With that wide angle and really high ISO, I could read the small text on the back liquor bottles behind dark glass five feet away, and that's not even with one of Leica's modern, benchmark setting APO lenses.

What a great episode to start the PetaPixel adventure. My first Leica was the Q2 Monochrom and absolutely fell in love with the platform. I still shoot Sony for the most part but NEVER leave the house without the Q2M. Looking forward to many, many more fun and adventurous videos/reviews with my favorite team.

Delighted to see the two of you here! Bon chance!

Great to have you guys back. Good stuff. I gotta admit I’m a bit “team Jordan” on this one though. “Hey for our first review, let’s do a monochrome camera on a fly fishing trip.” Just by the fact that I shoot way more stills than video I’m usually a “team Chris” guy, but this time, I think I feel Jordan’s pain.

Congrats on your first episode! Leica's are a love/hate for me as you can't argue with the image quality but the price tag makes me cry :D

i didn't comment the first time i saw this video, but i'm back here because i like M11 Monochrom. I'm so glad you, Chris and Jordan, still have a platform to do your thing. loved you guys at DP review. the only reason PetaPixel has my subscription is because of you two.

Love having yall back!

So great to see you guys back in a new place. I just watched an entire video about a camera I couldn’t care less about just because I wanted to watch Chris and Jordan.
