Guys, I have a Sony A7c and want to shoot great B&W (like the old film camera days). I usually shoot in JPEG (X-fine version), and I usually shoot in normal color mode, and then decide to convert to B&W in PhotoShop Elements. I have also tried the B&W setting in Creative Style. In most cases, the results look muddy and boring, not like I got in the old days shooting a Leica and Tri-X. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks in advance.

But the tools available to help with a B&W conversion can be adjusted more precisely and in larger increments while looking at an actual image. Better yet, you can capture the full range of luminance values available for each channel if you leave the filter off the lens.
