Sure, but I am sure that were he not out testing the monochrome, he would 
have used colour for that shot. That is why I have never bought into the 
concept of the MM. One of the nice things about digital is the flexibility: 
you have the M9 or the M10, you shoot a scene and if you decide it looks 
better in B&W, you just get rid of the colour.  A monochrome would take me 
back to film days when I would carry 2 bodies,  loaded with colour and B&W 
film, respectively. And sometimes a third body loaded with high-speed film. 
The ability to take care of those needs with one body is a major benefit.

Cheers,
Nathan
