Digital BW, The Print

Everyone figures it will go away, it's just a matter of how long and 
which films go first... but a few more good years with Type 55 would 
be nice:)  Seems like Type 55 would be one of the last to go 
though... maybe only because of my own enthuiasm.  I guess cops want 
color and artists want b&w... sad, sad, sad...
