Ted,
  I noticed that feature during some of the LUG discussions and thought it
might be a good idea.  Supposed to get to play with one for a few days soon
and plan to use that feature.  Thanks for confirming my thoughts on that.
Bill

Hi Bill.
Got the answer for you. ;-)

Buy a Digilux 2, set the camera for B&W and everything goes B&W, viewfinder,
screen on back and you record only B&W.

And it's wild when you're looking through the viuewfinder and "the world is
viewed in B&W! It makes a difference when you only see in B&W! Then you sem
to look at the scene as thouh you're looking at a black and white print and
see whether ot works or not before you trip the shutter.

Then when your eye leaves the viewfinder returning to looking at a colour
world it's very weird indeed. :-)

But no question, it sure beats shooting B&W film while looking through a
viewfinder and seeing a colour world, then waiting  until the mono film is
souped before you see your B&W results.
