Digital BW, The Print

I seem to recall that the metering was the F5's module rather than the 
F100's, which was the real source of the "cross between F5 and F100" 
comments, not the body shape.

As for comparing prices between digi and film cams based on the same body, 
look at the Fuji S1 compared to the price of an F60.
