Hands-on review: Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246)

Unlike the sensors inside the vast majority of digital cameras, the sensor inside Leica's Monochrom doesn't have a 'traditional' RGGB Bayer pattern filter. This means that it can't produce colour images, only black and white – hence the camera's name. It also means that each photosite on the sensor is used to create a pixel in the image without any interpolation. The end result is black and white images that have much more detail and dynamic range than images shot on a standard camera whether
