Moose, I think it comes from early biases. During the great depression
of the 1930s, all I ever saw were B&W photos. When I starting shooting
in the early 1950s, I shot both ASA 10 Kodachrome and ASA 50 Plus-X.
Liked 'em both, but, good B&W always had draw for me.

I like the idea of using your M8 in that way; reducing some of the
variables is an enjoyable way to take photos, I find.
"Why would anyone want to photograph an indisputably colourful world
in monochrome? If colour film had been invented first, would anybody
even contemplate photographing in black and white? "

history" (1999) at p.4
I have a similar opinion about film grain. :-)
