As someone in that very small market (i.e., (almost) only ever shot b&w film, and as a matter of routine (almost) only produce b&w digital), I have to say that that camera doesn't appeal to me in the least. In my particular case (and note that this isn't intended to imply *anything* about whether or not this is a good camera for Bob), knowing that my camera is recording a color version of a shot doesn't affect my ability to "think in B&W" in the least (at least as far as I'm consciously aware). The knowledge that I will have extensive creative options in the eventual B&W conversion is of huge importance to me. At this point, I would never give that up for a relatively small increase in sensitivity and resolution. - Marco -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
