But once an M-mount digital rangefinder with a 24x36 sensor is available, I'll be pitching film. I don't think I'll see it (the digital) affordable any time soon. But I do concur that digital B&W is wonderful as well. Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA > My experience is slightly different - I no longer buy B&W! I can get > that from a digi file at will.
