I used to carry a small mat board with a 4x5" cutout, at the suggestion of John Sexton. The idea was that you would hold it away from you to compose with a longer lens, closer for a normal or wide. If nothing else I got a lot of questioning looks.

I use these to get rid of the distraction of color on landscapes. Newer cameras with EVFs (including the M) will display B&W if set via menu to write a BW jpeg along with the RAW. Some (not sure about the M) will allow you to define the color filter to use in creating the jpeg, so you will see that effect in the EVF also. Is that what you were asking??

One was even incorporated in the viewfinder of the early Robot cameras. If you want to find one simply go to the oldest photo store in town and ask the oldest clerk if her has one in the junk box. I'm sure any deep colored camera filter will give much the same effect. > Larry Z > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
