5DS/5DSR as a monochrome camera only

[danpbphoto]

I am very interested in making a 5DS/5DSR a "monochrome only" body.

Has anyone done this or can any member speak to this Picture Style change? I use PsCC to edit images.

I have much Canon dslr lenses and 5 dslr Canon bodies.

I suggest you talk to monochrome imaging services, they they make *no* reference to Canon's on their site:

As to Picture Style, I am not sure what you are asking. When you remove the bayer filter, you can pretty much only get raws.

That  has nothing to do with a monochrome camera, that is just combining the RGB pixels and removing chroma info. If you shoot raw, you get all the color data anyway.

When I say turning a camera into a "monochrome only" body, I am talking about modifying the sensor to remove  the rgb bayer array, so the camera cannot even record color data.
