[Leica] The "problem" with the M9

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I make the decision at the post processing stage - it stays in colour
unless the colour distracts, or there is a tint across the print that is
difficult to remove without altering the colour balance of the frame, or
there is too much noise in the frame. In other words, I prefer colour as a
regular medium, B&W is an occasional pleasure.

That said, ironically, I have been taking part in a monthly B&W Digital
Print Exchange since 2005, and a few of my colour shots get converted to
B&W anyway! :-)

Cheers
Jayanand
