I'm already doing some imaging tests KiMONO Vs The Leica Monochrom. The AA filter simulator is quite useful, this shot on my M10 reveals significant luminance moire on the window screen and as you can see on this shot with the KiMONO there's no significant issue*.

Pentax KiMONO DFA*50mm f/1.4 @ f/5.6 ISO 200

* while there is luminance moire it has been quite effectively suppressed, it isn't anywhere near as bad as the M10 monochrome.

HDR Image from 3 bracketing images. It seems kind of dull/flat, even though contrast is push to the point where shadows get cut off... It seems harder to get it right with B&W...

Some I shot on a hike; some nature is more amenable to BW than color.

Pentax-K 50mm f/1.2, no filters. I think messy hair plays well with the background, reminds me of stormy weather.

Unfortunately not. I usually take JPG and RAW/DNG images, but I usually quickly delete the JPG and edit the RAW files. The rapeseed field was developed with C1 and post-processed with Affinity.
