Our retinas contain rods for detecting B&W in dim light; and cones for 
detecting color in bright light.
So B&W is a natural part of our physiology and anatomy. Add to that organic 
dimension of B&W its artistic to-the-point esthetic accuracy and you have a 
medium that is both genuine and artistic in every sense. My Leica M and CL 
and my 
Oly digital 5050's real time B&W mode are perfect for B&W work.
It doesn't get much better than that.
