Monochrome MX vs Dragon

[BrendanLeahy]

Can someone clarify specifically what the key differences are here? I can't seem to wrap my head around it aside from 6K vs 5K, and the better image science. Are those the only differences?

no color filters on the sensor creates a sharper and more light sensitive sensor.

I think he means MX Monochrome vs Dragon Monochrome :001_smile:

I'm wondering, since they mentioned an exchangeable OLPF for monochrome somewhere. But the real advantages only come with a sensor that has no Bayer pattern filter and an OLPF that is adjusted for luma aliasing only. So, I can't imagine this to be a user mod.

Having tested a MX true monochrome against an Alexa in color at night, I think the Dragon should be such a beast! Even with the MX sensitivity and texture was a dream.

The interchangeable OLPF for monochrome doesn't make a color dragon monochrome, it just is a different OLPF filter *for* monochrome. Probably less aggressive since it doesn't need to cover 3 bayer sites.
