I think the monochrome emphasizes the tragedy of the location even more than color.

Two more photographs taken today with the l monochrome d setting on my (recently acquired) GX9, both with available light.
One taken inside the open door of the refrigerator---
One taken in the living room, where tiny cut-out photos hang like Christmas decorations from a lamp--
Both of these were untouched SOOC's. I have to admit, the range of tones, of light and dark, and the subtle gradations in the shadows, are living up to things I had read about this monochrome setting, before acquiring this camera.

Love it. The surrounding landscape in your neck of the woods has always given me a sense of peace.

This shot - of a wood products factory in the small Oregon town where I live - was taken with l.monochrome.d on my GX9. It really does a nice job of rendering both detail and contrast.
I suspect the lens - Panasonic's underrated but superb fixed f/2.8 zoom, the 12-35mm, deserves some credit too.

That monochrome does render nice.

Yes. It does. It's one of the principal reasons I finally sold one of my long-term favorite mu43 cameras, the Lumix GX8, and got a GX9 - since the GX9 has l.monochrome.d in its firmware. The GX9 is closer in body size and feel to my older GX7, one of my favorite cameras ever, and with the smallish factory grip, its handling improved radically. But having this monochrome setting 'in camera' is a real luxury - and fun, too.

I rarely use Dynamic Monochrome because of the ISO limit, although I like how the tones are rendered using that setting.
I use the in-camera Mono photo style using custom settings I got from Matti Sulanto:

Thank you for the feedback. I quite like the Custom Mono, as well due to flexibility and more details in the blacks. Cheers.
Interesting stuff, I have been keen on having a go with the monocromes but hasnt due to shooting raw exclusively, did a small try earlier this winter for BW fun at about high noon, but ended up with the raw files in colour, even though BW was what was in the viewfinder. Anyhow, horsing around with the fresh GX880 today, I ended up hooking the camera to the PC for file transfer, first time ever I have done that I think.
Come to proccessing time, and by some notion I wandered off into the Profile settings, and Lo and Behold, for there I found a heading named Camera Matching, containing the 7 profiles from the camera, including Monochrome L and Monochrome. :confused-95:
A quick spin through that, with a couple of photos that was slotted for the B/W treatment anyhow, produced these two:
Never knew that it was an option, but am somewhat keen to hook up the other cameras to see if those also embeds their profiles into LR, will be interesting to see if they do.
I am not much of a techie, so it is somewhat magic, and that without have to burn-sacrifice a goat as well!
I really should try to see what those picture taking computers we call cameras these days, actually are capable of. I tend to use them as I used cameras back in the analog days.

Something about the contrast "bite" is just so close to film, to me Ricoh is the only one with even slightly comparable b&w modes.

Some people sit on the couch with the remote control, and do 'channel surfing'. I have to admit that I am occasionally guilty of sitting down in a comfortable chair and doing a little 'dictionary surfing'. You find out all kinds of cool (and often seemingly useless, at the time at least) information about...all sorts of things. And sometimes you stumble across a cool image---

It sounds like there is another monchrome mode called L Monochrome S on the S5, and coming with the GH5 II. Incidentally it sounds like there's a color mode as well called L ClassicNeo, the only real info I found on the web is via this Vietnamese page (can be auto-translated)

Yeah, your posts had me looking at this combo earlier this year, except the price of used camera gear seems to have skyrocketed like everything else.
