I think (this is just me theorizing) that monochrome sensors would require some special programming for these modern, AI-based (or at least AI is the buzzword used) noise reduction features. A lot of the noise off a Bayer sensor is chroma noise, and there's no chroma noise on monochrome sensors. I suppose ay NR system that people can run film photos through could also work with the Pentax.
I really like DeepPRIME output for my K-1, it matches that FF sensor extremely well.

Maybe, but in some NR systems you can adjust chroma and luma NR independently which should work fine for a monochrome file. Just curious to see how they do really.

It's a new kiosk made of some nice woodwork, set up at Westlake Center in Seattle. I'm not sure what it's for, but it has nice design.

Monochrome cameras (and a few others like Fuji X-Tran) use Linear DNG files. The headers are different. I've found several "try-Me" type software packages do not handle linear DNG. The file format is trivial, just not implemented by many packages.

Sigma Quattros use Linear DNG too. I have a number of programs that can handle it.
I found a review site that had test photos taken with a K3 Mark III Monochrome and the same shot taken on a K3 Mark III. Interesting to compare them side by side. Unfortunately nothing really high ISO.

Couple of shots using the high-contrast JPEG mode and a notch toward the blue tint. It's a strong effect, which I probably won't use much, but occasionally interesting.

Thank you. I spent the best part of 17 years in that office. It has a north facing window and the light was really beautiful in winter. I have maybe 250 test shots like this, but this is the best one.
