Digital BW, The Print

Okay guys,

Where is the digital B&W printing in all this Nikon lens mount stuff? If you
can't tie the thread into how lens mounts effect B&W output then let's move
on. I have not followed every post on this thread but I am skeptical that it
is going anywhere other than the old endless film vs. digital debate which
seems irreconcilable.

Thanks,
Martin Wesley
