Oh, seems this tread is still alive. I thought DPR forum is closed forever. I am working on mono conversions - GR, Pentax, some Nikon. My contact on FB/Messenger: MG Leisure Monochrome Conversions

Hello, Martin, If you use FB Messenger, contact me: MG Leisure Monochrome Conversions

Hello Tom. I am still doing monochrome conversions of all GR aps-c models. No.71-73 were done this month. If you use FB Messenger, contact me: MG Leisure Monochrome Conversions

Probably you are right about blown out highlights and possibility to recover something if color sensor is used and one channel is overexposed. These two examples show that green channel is exposed ...

Exif shows Nikon D500. Anyway, this thread lost its original subject - Monochrome K-3III

A fellow photographer and I are trying to find the differences between the dynamic range of a monochrome (debayered) Pentax K-1 sensor and a color sensor. The first comparison shows a monochrome ...

Nobody knows what root Ricoh will go with K-3III mono camera. Maybe they will choose Pixii root instead of real monochrome sensor camera. I don't care about APS-C models, my choice is K-1 full ...

I added some more originals and preprocessed images

Yes, I still can apply lens profiles to Monochrome2DNG converted files, just should do it manually, but profiles work. In many cases I use original glass elements to protect converted sensor plus ...

Monochrome conversion does not eliminate phase detection AF on Nikon Z6 sensor. I convert Ricoh GR III sensor which has PDAF and it works as should after conversion. This AF mode does not relate to ...

Leica (M9, M10 Monochrome, Q2 monochrome) and PhaseOne (100 and 150 mpix digital backs)

and it can be even better using sharpness sliders in editing software.

Yes, I think as well he is very competent. I do not know what process he uses for conversions.

here are some pictures https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WrKcPx4IbJmh0hA1kGKOdnZ47gASpRWa?usp=sharing Short names of files - original images from GR III (demosaicing algoritht will be applied ...

Sure, it is chalenging... and not cheap. I am not sure it is worth extra money to use with old optical design lenses which have best resolution at f5,6-8. But this is just my opinion.

I do not see the reason for global eV compensation because on Pentax bodies you can do it with 1 click operation on demand and there are 3-5 user modes you can save and use when you need/want just ...

If this process would be easy every could do it. Do not use scalpel, sensor will be damaged. The cheapest alternative I know could be found here: https://monochromeimaging.com/odering/

Sepia toning is the way of postprocessing I use in last months

Thank you. I shoot not often but like planned photoshoots more, especially for monochrome
