Before we departed for our evening shoot in the French Quarter, I decided that I was going to record in monochrome with the Olympus PEN-F, using only the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 at maximum aperture.

The fast aperture with an every so slightly wide field of view was perfect for navigating Royal and Bourbon Streets as the party warmed up.

I set the PEN-F to RAW+Jpeg, Mono-2, ISO 1600 or 3200 and locked the aperture to f/1.7 in aperture priority mode.

The images you see here are the JPEGs created using the Mono-2 profile. I haven't even looked at the RAW files yet. Perhaps I'll take a peek once I get home.
