Re: Your Favorite Color Camera, for Mono Images ...
I've been able to get "okay" b&w conversions from the M10 and M10-R (a couple examples below) but I've never been able to get a tonal range that matches what I can get with the M9M and M10M (also examples below). I'm also one of those people who advocate for carrying a b&w dedicated camera in order to develop a better eye for seeing in b&w. When I carry a color body I find myself getting distracted by things like butterflies on flowers, sunsets and so on. When carrying a b&w dedicated body I look for tones, textures and shapes.
I occasionally use SEfex Pro2 to fine tune images from the M10M, but my favorite Plug-in is one that is no longer supported or available. It's the Topaz Black & White Effects 2, which is superb but I've not been able to convince the folks at Topaz to continue to offer it. They apparently see no future in b&w photography.
