Speaking of digital M solutions...
I just started playing with the Olympus 5060 - the new 5mgp prosumer
p&s...and can report that it has a "real" b&w mode...not a forced dump
of color info, but rgb b&w 12.? Mgp files in slightly compressed jpg
mode...and when I run them through the FredMirand BW action, they don't
change...which is to say that the equivalent of his basic bw action has
been put into firm ware....
The camera has less shutter lag than it's predecessor...in fact, if you
pre-focus, which is really the only way to go with the p&ses, it has
virtually no shutter lag...if you don't, there is definite lag....
But it is quite neat to see and shoot in bw digital....Now, if they can
only do that in the E-1

Yes, but with the Cross Pen you get a lifetime warranty for repair or
replacement. I have sent in two of mine for repair and Cross sent me a
new pen free, even after 25 years. Can't beat that. Both of mine were
the Gold Filled, not the Gold Plated so they were a bit more than 10
microns thick. I actually use the Silver (Not Chrome) set more than the
Gold though.

Ah, yet another rip-off, eh? "titanium" my ass...sort of the cross pen
of titanium lenses....10 microns of gold over aluminum foil...;-)

Nope, the lenses were made of glass. The mounts were made of brass and/
or aluminium, with a titanium coating for cosmetic purposes.
