![]() ![]() Fujifilm had the advantage, of course, of being a manufacturer of black and white film and put that knowledge to good use in its digital models.Ībout 6 years ago I tried a Leica M246 and, again, I was startled, as I had never seen such good black and white images from a digital camera. They are startlingly good and many black and white film photographers switched to one of the Fujifilm camera range models when going into digital. ![]() The closest I have seen to the black and white film look straight out of a camera are the ACROS Jpegs with various filter settings shot with Fujifilm cameras. For travellers, it’s the Panasonic Lumix GX9, while street photography fans are pointed towards Ricoh’s excellent GRs (III and IIIx).įor most of us older hands nothing beats the look of black and white film. The best beginner’s camera for shooting B&W images is the Fujifilm X-T30 II, according to AP. ![]() It’s a toss-up between Fujifilm, Panasonic and Leica when it comes to black and white, it seems, although I cannot accept those other marques, such as Sony, Nikon and Canon, couldn’t perform just as well. There is a pattern in the following choices, with candidates drawn from very familiar territory as far as Macfilos readers are concerned. You get more detail, better dynamic range, lower noise and high ISOs.” But, as the author says, “A dedicated black and white camera with a monochrome sensor delivers genuine advantages. Some would argue that a B&W conversion is just as good as a dedicated monochrome image. Well, with the exception of the Leica Typ 246 Monochrom (as a used buy), they are all colour cameras, so we are dealing with converted images. The Q2 comes out best overall, despite its being “absurdly expensive”, while the “even more ludicrously expensive” M10-M is the best black-and-white rangefinder camera. In this case, it is cameras for black and white photography. The venerable British weekly, Amateur Photographer, has produced another of its interesting lists of “bests”. It is a conclusion that has the author’s full backing (Image Leica Camera AG) The Leica Q2 is AP’s best monochrome camera, despite the high cost. ![]()
