Are you sure this is not a mannequin?

I would be interested in details about the monochrome conversion of the sensor.

Many conversions require stripping the microlens array- which loses collection efficiency. How is this one done, and who does it?

I had maxmax.com do my conversion.  https://www.maxmax.com/maincamerapage/monochrome-cameras

it is important to have a raw converter that doesn't demosaic as well.. see. https://www.fastrawviewer.com/Monochrome2DNG or DarkTable.

Thankyou for the information and links.

I'm glad to see someone offers conversion to Linear DNG- But, I've found that many software packages do not support it. It's a very simple format and easy to parse. I have the original M Monochrom, along with an M9- having a dedicated monochrome camera is well worth the effort.

I ran into an interesting flaw in one of the columns of my M Monochrom image. At high ISO, with Dark images only- one line showed up darker than it should have. The column was not dead, but was "non-Uniform". The pixel was not dead, but seemed to have an intensity-dependent flaw when passing pixels. Basically, values were offset.

https://cameraderie.org/threads/leica-m-monochrom.37659/page-37#post-343526

I modified my DNG processor to compute a localized DC offset to restore the bad column, and add some threshold tests to determine if the image was affected by the flaw. This is better than mapping out a dead pixel, which is limited to replacing the column with the average of the neighboring pixels.

This would be an easy algorithm for the Monochrome MAXMAX code to add.

So Bob, you finally gave in and got a Stepford wife.
