Thank you, this is a good piece of advice/suggestion. Also, please post some of your B&W shots, I'm a fan of B&W and always like to see what others have done.

If you like black and white and manual focus, the Voigtlander 40mm SC is a nice option. On the slim M mount adapter it is a very compact lens, and the single coating can help give a classic look to monochrome.

I too prefer shooting B$W with peaking to help with manual focussing, and often keep the B&W jpeg as the final image.

Thank you for the advice on the Voigtlander lens, I will definitely check it out.  I'm a sucker for the classic look in photography.
