Hello all. I may have a chance to acquire a Monochrom and at the moment the only M-mount lenses I own are Zeiss (a 28 and a 35). How do Zeiss lenses perform on a Monochrom. Any issues?

It has been awhile since I have travelled overseas and was briefed on various threats (pickpockets, assaults, cons, drugging, etc). Back in the day, I travelled with a Canon D30 (the 3MP wonder DSLR). Most people assumed that it was a simple rebel film camera, and I took precautions to keep the screen close to my body. It was also a *tiny* screen by todays standards. With relatively small lenses, I didn't feel as if I stood out.When I had the Mono I almost didn't want to use it for night street photography because I was afraid of being robbed or nicking the camera, which takes out of the fun for me. the A7s is cheap enough that I don't think twice about it. Also, the ability to compose accurately through live view with wide and super wide glasses is important to me.
This is the most interesting thing I've read today. Seriously, talk to me about this feeling with your M9...BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, the Monochrom is the only camera other than my M9 that made me feel that it has a soul. Miss it more often than I want to admit
Please tell me how you convert, as there is no way that I can get the midtones from my 240 even close to those of the MM.The B&W conversion from a m240 is almost as good if not better as the Mono (when you blow out highlights, you can recover some from color files)
