Hi Steve,

I seem to recall reading this once, but I didn't realize the 
significance of what you were saying.  After re-reading it today, I set 
my Fuji X-T2 up with Acros selected as a film type, and made a few 
indoor shots.  The red on B&W did make it easier to focus.  I then 
opened the files in Lightroom and, while first displaying in B&W, they 
eventually appeared as RAF files in color.  I look forward to trying 
this during routine outdoor shots tomorrow.

Thanks!
