R or what it will be called, will change this. Out of my experience I decided for myself to divide my photography already with the equipment into B&W- and Color photography. That means I have two separate systems, one for B&W and one for color photography and before I go out I decide which type of photography I want to do. This makes it much easier for me to "look" in B&W or in color. Since I have the M10M most of the time I use this system. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why, having just bought the Monochrom 246, I have decided to hold onto my M10. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkcampbell2 Posted July 15, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2020 How about a compromise. If the majority of what you shoot is B&W then go for the M10-M and pick up one of the older Ms for the occasional color work. If your primary is color go for the M10-R and look for an older monochrome. Either way it's probably prudent to wait and see just what the M10-R can do. It may be sufficient to do both. Of course you don't get that "I'm forced to think in B&W" without a true monochrome camera but for me I find the M10 does great B&W if you take the time to learn how to process the files. Cheers, jc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of getting an older M10 since forever doesn't have to mean ALWAYS! Sometimes color is just what you need. I'm hoping the prices drop even more on the older M10s.

scroy Posted July 30, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 30, 2020 Interesting question. I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately. I have an M10 and SL2 and have been thinking about trading in the M10 for an M10-M. I've been mainly using the M10 for fun and processing the pictures in B&W. I'm wondering if this is a change on how I'm pre-visualizing subjects or an aberration due to the covid-19 induced restrictions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always shoot in b&w jpg and convert my raw to b&w if looked good. Like you I had the SL2 as well. Now I use monochrom for b&w and the SL2 as my color modern camera with autofocus. Very happy I did it. That monochrom is amazing and does look quite different than the desaturated raw photos. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
