You can set to B and W filter on my K-30 before you take a photo. Can't see why the K-5 would be any different.

There is a Monochrome digital filter. Have a look at the PU/EPZ reviews and there are shots with all the digital filters for each and every model.

Well, I've checked and as far as I can see, you can't. You can have a B&W copy after you have taken the image and you can extract colours, but I can't see how to take a B&W image! I have also checked the manual!

I thought you meant you had killed a cat, like ran it over or something?
Always be kind to people

I have seen some Black and White images taken with the Leica M9 Monochrome.
It leaves my K5 for dead when I compare my monochrome images.
I saw them at a demonstration from the local Leica agents.
Until I win the Lotto and can afford a M9, I'll take only colour.

then I suggest you learn to do the B&W conversion in post using lightroom or aperture....
you can create incredible shots from your raw files and will never envy Lieca again.

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

And Photoshop.
Learning how to make BW conversions is well worthwhile, whichever software you opt for. Even Photomatix now has BW presets.
The shots you have seen will no doubt have been prepared by very skilled workers. You can do it too with practice.

Yeah, this thing here.then I suggest you learn to do the B&W conversion in post using lightroom or aperture....
Mono in post gives you choice and freedom never dreamed of in my film days. With practice you learn to visualise the scene ahead of time.

Silver Efex Pro is highly recommended too although it isn't cheap sadly.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I mean at the point of shooting, not post processing.
