>>2881249I shoot black and white raws, you get to see the black and white on your LCD but then you also have the full color information so that you can later do a proper color-filtered B&W conversion. B&W with the GR is popular for several reasons. Yes in part I think the images from it somehow are really nicely suited for making good black and white conversions, but it's also partly just that it's easy to immediately see in B&W with the LCD screen and partly muh grainy Daido street meme and stuff like that.
I don't think it'll suddenly make you any better at black and whites and I also definitely have absolutely nothing against shooting color with the GR, but yeah B&W does seem to come kind of naturally with this camera.
