Lluis,
You will not be surprised to hear this from me once more, but the Monochrom
results look superior to my eyes than the film ones. I really think that
the Monochrom is the perfect tool for you, your vision and your way of
seeing. By the way, I am seriously considering converting my D850 to a
dedicated B&W camera.
