This carefully crafted and definitive comparison using the Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-M ASPH compares the Leica M Monochrom resolving power to that of the Leica M9P.

Both cameras have identical resolution, so this is the perfect comparison to prove (or not) that a monochrome sensor can outperform a GGRG Bayer matrix color sensor.

Very large crops are provided from f/2 - f/8, and the results are unequivocal, a must-read for anything considering the Leica M Monochrom vs the M9P.
