hi Luis...

thank you for looking...

here I am using a 4 GB card... I usually shoot RAW for the reason you  
give, and I can get almost 400 images on this card...not bad as its  
10 rolls of film..

but if I am shooting bw only for less critical uses, I can use jpeg  
fine and select bw mode  only...which will allow me to store (as I  
recall) about a thousand images on the same size card..


The bw jpeg fine mode gives me excellent quality files, and while not  
the best obtainable, certainly more than adequate... better than most  
scanning of negatives... except for drum scanning.


I will send you soon a couple of files from this morning, to take a  
look at...

Steve
