Digital BW, The Print

Our world is changing. I think when you consider film cost, the time
and headache of cleaning up a file, the whole ease of workflow, you
would be smart to go with a Canon 5 D digital SLR. I've worked a lot
with these files and compared to the Nikon 9000 scans, I like them
just as good or better for output. Look, you don't have to buy or
process film, you've got better than Polaroid type of immeditate
proofing before the shoot. Everyone I know is going in the opposite
direction from 35mm analogue film and ccd scanners. If I wasn't
shooting 4x5 and drum scanning I would get rid of my Nikon scanner and
go with a Canon 5D in a hearbeat. For me there would be no contest if
I was starting down that road.
