That is true for me, and much of the temptation of such a camera is that you have no choice but to think in b&w if that's the camera you have with you, just as you had no choice if you were loaded with only Tri-X. And of course some people only ever shot b&w film, and as a matter of routine only produce b&w digital, so this camera would presumably appeal to that market, albeit a very small one. In my case, when I'm carrying a digital camera now I almost always think in colour terms and it's generally only when I start looking at the stuff in LR that I think something might work well in mono. With a Monochrom I would be deliberately excluding colour from my thinking. However there are other factors to consider, and my mind is not made up yet. I will need to spend some time in my pusher's lair, comparing cameras.
