Panchromatic 400 +Red

Hard Monotone tuned like panchromatic 400 film shot through a red filter: a warm 7000K reference darkens skies in B&W, shadows lift +4 so street detail survives, and grain finishes the print.

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.

Camera compatibility

Created on the GR IV - the same settings work on the GR III and GR IIIx, and the warmth difference between bodies doesn't show in monotone. Grain size/intensity is a GR IV control - on older bodies use the closest single-scale grain level.
