Digital BW, The Print

Been reading this thread with interest.... 
Lot's of interesting perspectives from both sides.  One thing for sure is that digital 
isn't going away. Its fascinating that those that have absolute comfort scanning 
digitally and printing digitally are averse to digital capture.  I shoot digital because I 
don't like chemicals in my studio or house. For the things I shoot my 'old' canon 1D 
allows prints up to 20x30 and i get excellent conversions to black and white with 
software (imaging factory) where I have great control of what film emulation or use of 
filters.   Clearly digial capture has become good enough that the issue has become a 
matter of opinion not a matter of fact.  Use what you like!
