Monochrome-only body?

Hi Neuro.
Just because there are more of you that spell colour wrong due to the population of your country does not make the correct incorrect if you see what I mean. ??? ;D Plus not capitalising bayer is probably not wrong in this instance, as Don describe a GGBG array!

In fun, Graham.

Ok... Seriously..... can you explain to me why I am wrong?

A normal colour camera has a bayer filter.

You are wrong beacuse you're spelling color with a 'u' and failing to capitalize the eponymous Bayer filter.

Of course you're right that Bruce Bayer didn't design a GGBG array. But don't you mean capitalizing?

OOPS! Corrected the mistake in my earlier post..... But there is no way to convince the neighbours how to properly spell the colour grey.... They believe that their version of spelling trumps all....

Hi Neuro.
Do you have an emoticon for a "can of worms" that we could use when opening one! ;D

Cheers, Graham.

I'd buy a 5D4 Monochrome. A $4,000ish price would be OK with me.

BTW Leica isn't the only one to make a B&W digital. Phase One makes the Achromatic + http://www.achromaticplus.com/Achromatic_Plus/Achromatic+.html

"The Achromatic+ digital back is a 39 million pixel camera, with a sensor that measures 49.1 x 36.8mm and a pixel size of 6.8 micron (square). Technically speaking, this is a 39 megapixel digital camera. However, because there is no bayer pattern over the sensor, and the light is not separated into colors when being recorded, each pixel is capable of receiving pure and uninterrupted information. This absolute information translates into what could be perceived as a much higher resolution image, even comparable to 80mp. The experience is beautiful, and the images spectacular."

You should be able to make impressive large B&W prints with a Canon 5D4 Monochrome file. I want one.
