As for the X-E2 I am considering making that a dedicated B&W shooter. Do you mean a conversion, or that you would only use it for B&W. Maybe my mind is channeled, because I am going to have my D300 converted to infrared, and am thinking of a UV conversion. A conversion has been a consideration. However, the only company currently doing B&W conversions is only doing them to Fujifilm X-Pro1 bodies (that is among the Fujifilm bodies). So for now I will just be using it for in-camera B&W. These guys also do IR conversions along with their monochrome conversions, but the Fujifilm in-camera B&W is pretty good. https://www.maxmax.com https://petapixel.com/2017/02/17/fuj...-4800-cheaper- leicas/ ....and: https://fstoppers.com/gear/maxmax-la...lm-x-pro1-and- x100s-166132 Life Pixel has a good reputation. For my last conversion, I simply pulled out the IR filter. But, that was on a P&S, that I otherwise would just sit in a box. This time around, I am looking for faux color IR. But why are you converting for BW only? For now I am not converting a camera to B&W only. I am just choosing to use what is my extra body, the X-E2, as a dedicated B&W shooter using the Fujifilm in-camera emulations. I will still have the option to use it for color. The B&W converted cameras, like the Leica monochrome, have the sensor modified by removal of the ICF/AA filter stack, standard sensor cover glass, microlenses, and CFA (Color Filter Array). A special sensor cover glass is added. This gives you a camera which is not dependant on color content, and B&W results which are sharper with finer micro-contrast. Thus the B&W results from a converted camera are going to be much better than B&W conversions from color RAW. Having said all of that, I have other things to spend my disposable income on right now. Understood. IMHO there is a beauty in BW, that cannot be achieved in color. It is also harder to make a top notch BW, than color. With monochrome, the all elements of composition, tonal gradations, and of course, subject matter must be present. OTOH, color will make up for lapses in the other areas. -- PeterN |
