B.D., is this based on real world prints or 'pixel peeping?

Anyhow, doesn't your arrangement with Olympus prevent you from recommending
other manufacturers' equipment ;-)?

The one thing I totally agree with you on, Jeffery, is the DOF problem - and
it is a very real problem. But as to Tri-X and digital - as one who used
Tri-X for some 45 years, I have to say that when I look at my Tri-X images
shot at 800, and my digital black and white shot at 800, I'll take the
digital any day. It doesn't look "digital," and it has a lot better tonal
gradation than the Tri-X. But again, to each his own - if you prefer the
Tri-X, stick to the Tri-X.
