I have a pair of Zone VI tools about the size of a 35mm slide that are 
orange-ish; one 4x6 ratio, one square. I use these to get rid of the 
distraction of color on landscapes.

Newer cameras with EVFs (including the M) will display B&W if set via menu 
to write a BW jpeg along with the RAW. Some (not sure about the M) will 
allow you to define the color filter to use in creating the jpeg, so you 
will see that effect in the EVF also.

Is that what you were asking??
Best,
Bob
