If you are interested in how the GRDs (and the LC1) process b&w pictures and why most people prefer the GRD I for b&w work have a look here:

I will post more this evening and also process the GRD II RAWs in a different way.
My conclusion for now is that:
1. I still prefer the GRD I jpgs and can always point them out straight away.
2. I messed up the RAW conversions and instead of going for the GRD I look I went for higher tonality so will re-do this and re post the images.
3. The GRD II RAW files have the highest dynamic range together with the LC1, that is still a bit better.
