Oh, before I forget, take a look at my icandy slide shows . I will be making slideshows that is designed for big screen TV's. Take a look at this one: Ok, back to the topic on hand. So one of the most asked question about the Leica Q2M is, 'why limit yourself to just black and white when you can easily convert color photos to BW?' Very good question.
