Mine just came today, and am very excited to start shooting with it (though I want to make sure that the 'first' shot isn't of my cat or some test shot in my office!).

Question -- I noticed that there is a 'pull 160' option in the ISO. Any qualitative difference between shooting at 160 and the 320 default?

First CONGRATS. I have a feeling you are going to LOVE it. I didn't see any major degrading of the image quality.
 
took a few shots with a Monochrom yesterday at the Brazilian launch of the camera.
looking at 1:1 size at iso 10.000 was amazing, there is so little noise.

It seems like the resolution is very high. Look at the MM landscape thread for detailed examples.

In a word: WOW.

With the "M" coming does anyone know how long the Monochrom and how many will be made? I may have used inaccurate information when I explained to my wife why I needed to have one. Opps!

Yes, positively confirmed for your better half.;)
It's a strictly limited run. After the final deliveries of this batch all tools and machinery will be destroyed.
The very final signup is before X-mas '12. You need to hurry up Jim !
 
I did get one over Thanksgiving, I'm on 3 waiting lists and wasn't moving. Out of the blue on Thanksgiving I searched on Amazon and what the heck, there was one! Even after buying it I had a sneaky thought my order would be cancelled for lack of product (happened before). Monday following Thanksgivng it was on my desk. That's when I had to explain why I needed another camera! I love it, still learning but I haven't shot anything since. I'm glad I made the purchase.

This is a great story. Hopefully you wife does not read this post. LOL. Is the M really for Monochrome or for Madness.:eek:

Jim, it's all worth the hassle and excuse right? Next time, I'll try to remember this "inaccurate" information and put it to good use. :D
