Digital BW, The Print

Shot Canon Ftb's for years with Canon FD lenses.  I've got some great
scanned negs from that era.  Switched to Nikon to go digital several years
back...and shoot a D1 now...I love it.  I think you can get one for around
$3000 now...but you will need lenses as well.  It sounds like a lot of
money...but the $$$ savings in film and processing is significant if you
shoot a lot...but the biggest saving is in time.  It takes me about 1/5th
the time to go from camera to printer with D1 images vs. scanned negs.
