Who has shot in Black and White? Do you shoot in your regular profile then convert in post or shoot in monochrome as you go?
 
I've found that what looks good in black and white is generally very contrasty. If I bake in a look in cam that 'I like' when shooting monochrome, it tends to end up with about 5 stops of dynamic range and zero latitude to adjust in post. I just stick to regular 4k uhd recording and turn on monochrome live view in the wrench C menu so I see approximately what I'm going to get with b&w.

Cheers,
Pete
 
No problem. I don't do much B&W work now, but back in my film days I did a ton. The majority of my work now is TV commercials. Try explaining to a client the concept of a shot being black and white in 2016. What the hey? If I'm paying for a commercial it's going to be full color. And while your at it, I don't like the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. I'm paying for the full screen, and that's what I want to see.
