Fujifilm Monochrome Camera

Use it on my FujiFilm camera

It performed very well. It encourages me to experiment more with Monochrome.

Use it in a Fujifilm camera and it works excellently.

I shot mostly street shots today using L Monochrome D and couldn't have been happier with my shots --I just love them and they were shot in jpeg you need to get this camera if you are into street shooting

I have the M10 Monochrome, and yes, I feel like a camera snob, but this lens is wonderful particularly for portraits. And honestly I haven't done much with the higher f stops. The bokeh is what one would expect from an f0.95, and the process and results for focusing is just like name brand Leica glass in the M10. At a price less than 10% of the Leica Noctilux, if you're seriously torn between the two, it would totally be worth your time and money to get on a plane, visit B&H, and try this lens! Or better yet, just buy it. High likelihood you'll giggle with delight at what this lens can do, particularly at this price!

For all of us who cannot spend the money on the Lecia, Pentax gives us a wonderful Monochrome digital camera. Based on the K3 chassis it is a Monochrome only Pentax K-3 Mark iii. It is an APS-C professional-level camera. With excellent ergonomics that Pentax is known for. Yes everyone is dashing off on mirrorless but the bright, eyeglass-friendly viewfinder is wonderful. With a nice catalog of lenses, this is a black-and-white camera that can be used in any situation. Finally black and white with excellent fine resolution, usable high ISO, and professional grade. The images have fine detail, highlights, and shadows. Easy-to-use menus and settings that address every situation you may encounter. For those who remember all those color filters for black and white are usable to manipulate the the images before tripping the shutter button. Two things to consider. LCD panel does not flip up or rotate. I use a Ref a right angle viewfinder by Pentax. It works well on all the 35mm Pentax cameras and some other brands. It rotates and has a 2x setting which is nice for macro. The other thing I have noticed is the very sensitive shutter button. It has a very sensitive and short motion to trip the shutter. I can highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to do Monochrome. You will not be disappointed Monochrome is far from a niche place in photography. You see it in many venues. It is not limited now to the conversion of color digital or shooting film. We now have a well thought out Monochrome from Pentax at a more palatable price than Lecia.

I purchased this Lens so that I could use it for wide field Nebula shots. It has delivered in all aspects. I will be using it with a Monochrome camera next.

To preface this story, this is my first DSLR and my first Pentax. Before this I had owned two mirrorless cameras.  First I started with a Lumix S1 but was looking to upgrade and convinced myself to sell everything to buy into the Fuji GFX system. To my (and many others) surprise I was dissatisfied with not only the build quality of the 50sii but the images I was creating with it. Something just didn't look right. I couldn't place my finger on it but things looked... sterile?  I thought a digital medium format sensor was the answer to replicating my medium format film cameras but alas, this was not the case. I wanted to capture a black and white film look with a digital camera but couldn't afford a Leica monochrome. It was a risky move on my part but I sold my GFX after doing a lot of research into the K3iii monochrome. The first day I took it out I knew I had made the right choice. Images from this camera are pure magic and have tricked many people around me thinking it was film. Match this sensor with a M42 adapter and throw some Super-Takumar, it looks identical to B&W film. Love shooting this thing at night at ridiculously high ISO levels. The build quality is like a tank. View finder is bright and easy to focus. Speaking of focusing, the auto focus is faster than some of the mirrorless cameras Ive used. I don't ever want to go back to mirrorless after using this gem, there's nothing like framing your image through the lens. My only complaint is it takes a second to get used to exposing correctly. You need to be very mindful of blown out highlights. Images match that of any full frame camera I've ever used. I love this thing so much I can only hope Pentax will release a full frame monochrome camera in the future to compete with Leica. Anyway, if you love B&W photography then this is the camera for you.

I bought this mainly to calibrate the perfect monochrome shooting setting in my camera and this was a great tool for that. I also tried multiple colored black and white filters with it to see the effects and it helped quite well. I love the fact that this ships with 3 copies.

I shoot monochrome almost all the times. so I have a camera body dedicated to it and a few prime lenses. The external filters are stronger and much better than he digital ones.
