What about the Foveon filter used in the Sigmas?  I heard that this 
kind of sensor would have real benefits for B&W photographers.  I 
know how the Foveon works but don't have any real technical knowledge 
of how it would be better or worse for that matter than other 
CCD/CMOS sensors, or how it would compare to film....
