I love shooting b&w. I have tons of them. I always shoot in color and convert/edit in post. The only problem I have with shooting in monochrome is that the colors tend to be mucky gray instead of b&w. You let the camera choose how to convert a particular color to greyscale. I like to change the hue of the colors before the conversion to show more contrast between colors. I also like to add some warming and occasionally some cross processing like colors back into it.
