Right, but that control comes at the cost of interpolation. I would gladly
give up that control (which I never had when BW film was in the camera), for
a panchromatic monochrome sensor that did not need to interpolate. I would
dust off my yellow filter and be quite happy. Austin has already told use
how nice the true BW sensors were that he has worked with. I just want that
in a normal, digital SLR.
