I liked the idea of a digital camera dedicated to monochrome from the very
beginning. I would like to know how it compares to film B&W with Wratten
filters as I have had to jump through a number of hoops to get B&W film
performance with the E-500/510. I ended up taking JPG RAW on the E-500 (not
available on later models), adding the Wratten filter(s) with FilterSim, then
converting to B&W filmstock with DxO FilmPack.
