Im sure Ive mentioned this before, but having had to do jobs in both colour and b+w back in the day, which was a pain in the behind, lugging two bodies, switching lens and trying to remember what stuff you shot with which body, I never liked doing both.
And with the switch to digital, I still didnt like it as if I shoot b+w, I look at the world in b+w, or in colour, and a digi body to me is in colour. And no I have never set up a body as b+w only, I guess cuz it just doesnt seem the same to me, old habits of half of my life in the darkroom and all that.
