Less and less time with photography, especially with the post-processing of our pictures. Many shots, even in 2009, are still in the archived folders. That&#8217;s the main reason why I decide to shoot in film recently (not so convincing right? :D). It has been good so far, but quite costly due to cost of buying and developing film.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>Last week I tried to set the 5D Mark II to Monochrome (BnW) mode, push a contrast level from 5 to 7, and just shoot with it. It is quite surprising that the BW tonality I got from the OM Zuiko lens and recently the Sigma 50mm f1.4, is quite pleasing. Sometime it is just too clean in ISO 400 for a BnW look (named it 5DII Monochrome 400 if you don&#8217;t mind), I prefer the 5DII Monochrome 1600 or even 6400.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>This morning I do a short test with the Sigma.
