Finally in full production and prototypes lent out to the usual ambassadors. videos available in the last hours on YouTube
Matt black with built in red filter at the touch of a button, plus more
A revised version of the K3 monochrome sensor.
More expensive than the colour GR IV but that was to be expected.

I would dearly love one so send money to my link below

In the very best "Telegoons" tradition, "Here is a photograph of some money that you can spend anywhere."

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I am tempted, maybe just the way forward as I age, as they say "you can't take it with you" and "there aren't any pockets in shrouds". Plus the care homes will only take it. I would like to sign off with LOL but.....

Wise words Load-of, but even current wishes far exceed the status of my underground mattress accounts

I also like the phrase "when I'm pushing up daisies" from an old late friend I trained with who excelled at the bench press.

While I'm on a roll with phrases, just heard on the radio station fivelive, regarding snooker, (which I don't follow) match between Trump and Allen, the commentator said "Trump about to break". Sorry, I'll get me coat.

The latest I heard, he's about to pot the Green.
I think he's shot, will be a miss "direction"
more miscue from behind.

While I'm sure the GR IV monochrome is a nice camera, like it's colour sibling and it's DSLR cousin it's massively overpriced.

Is that compared to the Leica Monochrom?

1799 Euros in Germany is the official price for the GR monochrome so I suppose thats the price across most of Europe.
1500 Euros if one was in japan.
2000 Euros if one is in America (tariffs)
Ans
I still want one
