#244 Please Sir, can we have an X-Pro M(onochrom)? Plus Mr Whisper’s BIG noise on the street

Neale has a bad case of flight wind and Kev is saving £1 a week for the rest of his life so he can afford Leica’s new Monochrom camera, whilst wishing and hoping that Fujifilm may at last release their own dedicated BW-only camera, especially now that even Pentax have launched theirs! One thing is for sure, both our boys are lamenting the closure of DPReview. Questions today on sharpening; to sharpen or not to sharpen, switching from a DLSR with an optical viewfinder to an electronic viewfinder in a Fujifilm mirrorless, building a new portfolio, working for free, removing pictures of those who have passed from online portfolios, shooting tethered with Fujifilm cameras, wonky frozen sub monitors and more. Our guest this week, visiting us for the first of two editions, is London-based street and travel photographer, Mr. Whisper.
