Digital BW, The Print

Two points:
1.	Shooting color, scanning in RGB and converting to grayscale give
tremendous flexibility. The effect is that of shooting BW film with a
filter. The advantage here is that you are (in effect) deciding which
filter in post-processing.
2.	You mention digital color. Of course the effect is the same but
I've pretty much given up on shooting digital for anything that I might
deem "important."
I've designated the CP5000 to family pix and quickie snapshots. For me,
the resolution just isn't there. It keeps getting better but for now
I'll stick to the Mamiya 7 with the 6x7 frame size and scan the negs.

Stanley:

Isn't point is that shooting in digital color and converting using the
plug-ins, channel mixer, etc, gives tremendous control over the output
and
major advantages over b/w film?
