[Leica] IMGS: B&W

[Mark Rabiner]

I really think and this shot illustrates it that they way to do black and white when your shooting digital is to use a digital camera or back.
Digital conversions done later have never quite made it for me. Once I see them in color I seldom feel like taking all the color out. I always know the colors are there. Shots I'd converted to black and white years later when I look at the original raw file again I end up keeping the color when I photoshop it again. 
I hope the time comes when I can get set up with a Leica monochrome or other digital black and white sensor and wow start investing in filters as I don’t know if I can find the ones I used to use. My default was the 060 B+W yellow green.  Is B+W  still in business it was owned by JSK Schneider? But I loved a darker green or red for sky shots. And others. But the green I used the most as they were the only ones which did not turn people in to creatures from another planet.

    And next.
    
    I'll have lots more B&W when I get to some of people working but they are
    usually such colorful people that I took far more color than B&W.
    
    TIA for any comments.
