Most digital cameras that shoot raw, including the M8, do it this
way. I shot quite a bit with raw+jpeg in B&W; jpeg to have some quick
images to deal with and because my cataloging software, iView,
doesn't handle DNG properly :-(. The jpegs of course are only B&W,
while the raw (DNG) files have all the colour info and can be
tweaked later. With SD cards becoming cheaper, that's the way I would
always shoot B&W. Unless Leica comes out with a dedicated B&W only
M8mono!!! ....hint, hint!
