With digital capture, I simply defer B&W visualization to the post processing time and concentrate on exposure, focus, etc at capture time. Of course, I always "see" B&W the same way when capturing ... I haven't found a film camera yet that allows me to see the image in B&W through the viewfinder ...
With the L1, I can turn the JPEG rendering to B&W and see a B&W rendering in Live View (as I could with my other LCD/EVF cameras), but the B&W rendering is so different from what I'd see if I could adjust the spectral sensitivity to how I'd process the image that I prefer to use my imagination rather than ask a camera to do the visualization for me.
