GREAT camera for B+W:   Rolleiflex 3.5E and Kodak Tri-X film.
For many
examples, visit my photographs at www.mcnew.net.

Digital camera for B+W?   They have word in Brooklyn for that:

I like to use my MF folders. An Iskra 6x6 and a modified Monitor
6x9. Smaller than a 35 mm SLR and a lot of square inches of film.
My modified Polaroid 110A with 665 film is the slower one with
even more film space. Though I do have a Nikon 8000 scanner, one
could use the Epson 3200 (that I also have) as well for smaller
prints. In price and print quality the combination of a good MF
camera and the Epson is hard to beat. You have to find a method
to use the 3200 at its best. This setup will fulfill my modest
amateur needs till fullframe digital is affordable. As I'm a
printer by profession the scanners that I have are a bit out of
proportion to the camera equipment.
