Advertisement Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Hi BishT, Take a look here Mike Johnston - Why we need a B&W-only sensor. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael Hiles Posted May 11, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted May 11, 2012 Much truth in the article. It also applies to the camera. My pictures would be different were I not using an M Leica. It is about how the camera subtly influences my mind's eye. I am always puzzled by posts with a colour and B&W version of the same subject from the same exposure. Suggests to me lack of original purpose. If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Â I would probably buy an M9M - except for the price. It would do what I want to do.

Guest Posted May 11, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted May 11, 2012 Take b&w jpegs. If you think you need DNG put your M setting to DNG+b&w jpeg. So you have b&w on your LCD and on the computer keep your monitor always desaturared = monochrome. Â If that is what you like all through the summer, start from there. Â If not, go to Berlin and spend as much as a M9M costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
