Hi Anthony,

I use Delta 3200, XTOL 1:1 and it looks pretty damn good!

Unfortunately, not many of the digicams will be B&W...and I'm not a fan of
the RGB conversions.  I could live with a full frame (6cm x 6cm, not the
reduced frame size that are currently all that are available) B&W Hasselblad
6k x 6k digital back...that gave me ISO from 100 to 3200.  That would
probably eliminate film for me.  I wonder how many people would buy such a
back, if it were priced in the low $k's?
