<p>William, In the past if I setup to shoot b&w right out of the camera I suppose I would set WB, at AWB. ALong with that I select particular filters</p>

<p>I always set a custom WB. Habit now,<br> David Henderson, Have you tried the Topaz? </p>

<p>WW, Still use my basic color-right / over the lens. I have also used the one shot digital target. </p>

<p>Thanks for the responses. I am shooting with Canon 7d and will mostly be outside. I have moved my setting to the B&W mode and applied built in filtering. Seems to work just fine w/o doing the white balance check. More curious to what others have experienced. <br> Thanks a lot !!</p>

<p>If I wish to shoot DSLR exclusive black&white, monochrome, is it necessary to meter a white balance?<br> Thanks, JOhn</p>
