If I had a massive surplus of funds (LOL) I’d absolutely buy myself a monochrome sensor camera.
@baldur really didn't know most of this about monochrome cameras. It's making me lust for a Ricoh GR monochrome which perhaps isn't an impossible dream.
@ChrisJWilson I mean, if the monochrome Pentax sells well enough, maybe? Since it's the same company and all. (Ricoh is also working on a new film camera so they're definitely trying a lot of interesting things at the moment.)
@baldur "every frame you’ve ever taken with a color digicam is a computational image. Monochrome images, on the other hand, are a direct record of the light." Yes. Really informative article. It will be a long time before these fall into my price range though.
@baldur That's my hope! They've just put out the HDF GRs too, so they're clearly experimenting a bit. The film camera is really intriguing, the last rumour I bumped into is that it will be half frame!
