Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Jerry for your helpful response to my 
question on your lense selection for the D60. 

I am wondering  what your experience has been 
converting the raw D60 files to B&W. Does it 
compare at all favorably with 35mm b&w film that 
has been scanned? Of course I will be able to 
answer this for myself once I have acquired a 
couple of lenses for my D60 body but, I would 
really appreciate your opinion and any thoughtd 
you may have on the best methodology for 
conversion to grayscale.

I really did not intend my prior post to set off a 
renewal of the resolution/sharpness battle 
between you and Austin. It feels like stepping on 
a sleeping rattlesnake!  In my heart I know that 
you guys are both right. 

Happy bokeh to you both. It is only in recent 
years that the "Bokeh" discussion seems to have 
come to my attention. Now I know why I have 
always loved the out of focus areas from my Leica 
lenses. When a tree falls in the forest does it 
make a sound if no one is there to hear it?


Jerry, we must be part of the same over-the-hill 
gang. I have been making photographs since 1953 
while I was in high school. Bokeh I just heard of 3 
or 4 years ago. 

Peace

Ross
