The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling — noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.

The B&W companion to Bennett 800 — punchy Monotone contrast with film-like grain, tuned for everyday street.

Dialed in on the GR IIIx. Same settings work on the other listed cameras — the GR IV renders slightly warmer, so nudge WB compensation toward blue/magenta if you want an exact match. Grain uses the III's single scale; on GR IV pick the closest size/intensity.
