Much depends on the weather. I used to feel the same way but having seen so many terrific b&w images on this forum taken in virtually every kind of light, my attitude has changed. I still enjoy and shoot colour, but almost invariably the images that evoke the strongest emotional response in me are b&w--indoors, outdoors, rain or shine. I think this has a lot to do with both the quality of the Leica Monochrom sensors and advancements in conversion software. There really is no longer a black & white day versus a colour day. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A B&W day is when I take out my M246M, a colour day is when I take out one (or more) of my colour bodies. It is very seldom I take them out together and if I do I ususally have vastly different focal length on the B&W vs. the colour body and even with that difference I still find it very hard to switch between B&W and colour seeing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because with a monochrome (only) camera, I already look and frame differently. I can ‘breath’ B/W, just like in times of film. then I got spoilt with colour. Oh that gorgeous colour. . . 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ‘breath’ B/W, just like in times of film. then I got spoilt with colour. Oh that gorgeous colour. . . When I try to apply what you wrote to me, the end result is I need. two expensive cameras, not one multi-purpose camera, and I need to walk around with both of them. What I might do is change the settings on my M10 so the camera shows me the images, and the captured images, in B&W, and when I review the 'jpg' images make sure they are set to B&W. Maybe in large prints it might be more obvious, but I can't tell any difference between a standard camera shooting in B&W, or a Monochrom when I review the posted photos here. I used to only shoot B&W, like in growing up, and when I had a darkroom. I didn't miss color, but my relatives and friends did. I think it's easier to shoot in color - in B&W there are so many more things I need to be aware of. Funny though - I have no desire whatever to shoot in B&W with my Nikon DSLR, and a huge desire to do so with my M10 and M8.2 cameras.

I thought about my earlier response to you, and decided why not? If it's bright and sunny when I go out, I'll plan on color. If not, I'll mentally switch to B&W. Maybe you can help me - I know the M10 can save separate "user modes". Can I name one of those to B&W, and automatically have it show me things in live-view and on the Visoflex, as well as in playback, in B&W? Maybe later tonight I'll try to set that up. I understand my raw images will remain in color, but my image processor, PhotoLab, can automatically emulate many different brands of film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted October 29, 2022 Share #14620 Posted October 29, 2022 I solved the quandary. I sold all of my kits and purchased A LEICA Q2 MONOCHROM. I held back an LX 100 for color. I feel wonderful when I go out searching. A sensor dedicated to ONLY black and white makes a huge difference. Don’t fret, Just do it ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
