RE: [Digital BW] Get a Leaf Austin

I DO believe you can produce wonderful images with a D30 or a D60!  I've
never said otherwise.  What I've discussed is the limitations of such
systems, as well as the advantages...and I don't limit that to digital
cameras, but also to film and the entire process.  All of it is a
choice/compromise, and understanding what choices you have, as well as what
you are compromising can help you get better results/make better choices
from your chosen system.  To one person, something that may seem a
compromise, is another person't advantage.

I DO shoot with digital cameras, and have been for quite some time.  From my
low end Ricoh to my high end Leaf and PhaseOne...  They have their time and
place, and I've had fun with all of them...even my wife's P&S Pentax film
camera, and my Polaroid SX-70...and my gawd awful cranky Super Ikontas...

Regards,

Austin
