No, not a typo in the heading. In my piece on Ragnar Axelsson, I said that I could not envisage shooting exclusively with a camera that only produced black and white images = viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1577.

This article describes how Nick Devlin did just that during a recent trip to coloutful Cuba using Leica's original M Monochrom camera. He enjoyed the experience and during the short time he has owned it says that he has achieved a higher number of keepers than usual.

In Nick Devlin's article, he also describes his post capture worklflow for his black and white images using a combination of Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro, preferring to do as much work as possible in the latter. This differs from my own appoach to monochrome where I do as much as I can in Lightroom before switching to SEP, so I will try his method when I have an opportunity, except that I will be starting with a colour file of course. That's the great thing about photography, there is no right or wrong way of doing things and there is always something different to try, either at the shooting stage or afterwards.
