I wasn't really prepared to invest in a RAW workflow and false color work. My cam is setup to be jpg bw only. I wanted a landscape camera that just did BW, kinda like a poor mans leica M monochrom (the camera I really wanted, lol). In that regard, I consider the conversion a lucky success, because it ended up being just what I had desired for my current landscape series.
The camera came with a wonderful preset WB and RAW tonality with the deep BW filter, more technically capable than I really wanted. I immediately abandoned this preset and went with BW +3 contrast
This preset probably makes the shots look garish to true IR aficionados, but its exactly what I wanted from a pure BW landscape camera. If you want to do color, this is the wrong camera. The RAWs are nice too, but I doubt I will ever touch them.
a good to know, i'll be shooting raw but never viewing things in color or trying false color type processing. i'm just trying to figure out which filter will give my more pleasing b&w's and how much sensitivity loss there is with the deep b&w filter.
Congratulations on your Touits, Joan and Taylor. Let me post one more Touit pic just to join you. It's cropped, though, so it somewhat defeats the purpose..:-) BTW, love your B&W, Tyalor!
Thanks philber! that one is using the "infrared" LR4 preset. The picture is of the residue left behind by a lime-producing operation that ran there around 100 years ago.
Wow what devastation. The large building is spared by some miracle, but the little one is not so lucky. Similarly with the forest / grass, islands of green in a black/brown sea.

That lens really impresses most of the time. I was browsing through the forum, not really aware that it was the NEX thread, and without looking at the lens info I thought "That's got to be the 21 Distagon".
