The monochrom conversion is "only" $1000, the price of a Leica lenscap ;-)
Worth it? who knows. fyi, Monochrom (the original) still fetches
about $3500-$4500

As for films,  yea, I shoot a lot of those ;-)

Paul, by pulling off the color filter, it *could* increase the apparent
resolution. Definitely not 4x, but not insignificant.
