Digital BW, The Print

  I'd carry your analogy a little further:  it's like listening to the symphony through a 5x7 speaker on a old car radio.

  To each his own, but unless you have capture speed limitations that prevent
consideration of RAW capture, it would be like going to the symphony and
listening from the lobby.  Specifically, you lose tonal range, ability to
change white balance, sharpening, noise reduction, and negate any future
processing by improved raw converters.  There really is no match between the
two.

Subject: [Digital BW] RAW vs JPGs B&W

As far as black and white printing is concerned, has anybody in the
group observed any significant difference in prints from RAW files vs
prints from JPG files shot in B&W setting? The answer would be
relevant to memory card capacity. The question came to me reading
Bruce Fraser's "Understanding Digital Raw Capture" where he
writes "...JPEG does a decent job of preserving luminance data..."
that are the data we are after in B&W photography.
