Digital BW, The Print

Hello Djon,
 
>Some of the best 6 and 8 MP digicams suffer significant purple fringe
>at high ei. What's the impact on B&W conversions? Obnoxious?
Vanished?

I use a Canon Pro-1 8mp, which has only a small amount of PF in
extreme contrast areas like branches over skies.  A recent photo that
had a small amount showed none in the BW version.  I wasn't thinking
about it at the time, so I didn't do anything special for it.  I don't
know if it generally does not transfer to BW, or if my conversion
technique happens to reduce it.  It's not an issue with this camera,
but next time I find some I'll try some different techniques & see
what happens.  


Regards,
Clayton
