[Leica] Love that M9 B&W

[Gerry Walden]

Richard

I find both my (resting) M9 and my M240 give excellent b&w results. I shoot .dng but have both my rear screen and Lightroom set to give me black and white, so it saves second-thinking colour or b&w.

BTW, the file details on the gallery show the iso of the Wall Street image as 160, nowhere near what you are suggesting.
