I don't understand why anybody would want a B&W version over a RAW 
version.  RAW is the negative.  You can develop it any way you 
want.  Once it's been developed as B&W, you can't redevelop it for 
highlights or shadows or anything else.  Why would you want 
that?  RAW has all of the information that the camera captures.  B&W 
only would throw away most of this information. Are you going to 
depend on the camera software to develop the negative for you? It 
doesn't make sense to make a B&W only camera!
