It has unmatched deep of field and sharpness at f/5.6 :)

I hear so many people talking about their Leica Monochrom being the best there is for B&W. However, I have seen some amazing B&W from other cameras which are just as good if not better than what I have seen from Monochrom Leicas. This picture clearly is one example.

Excellent values, nice image.

Thanks Philippe.

Another brilliant shot! Your B&W are just so inspiring...
