Digital BW, The Print

No Steve.  I don't really need a digital camera.  But, I do believe 
that in my lifetime (i'm 29 now) I should become accustomed to them 
and thoroughly know what they can and can't do firsthand.  I am an 
inquisitive person and would like to get the experience of digital 
so that when I do or do not stick with my pentax 67 I am doing so 
based on my taste and experiences and not simply from what I have 
gathered from others.  As for the 4x5 scanning, I have shot 4x5 and 
really prefer the portability I get from the 6x7 negative.  I am not 
looking to get a digital camera to improve my picture quality, but 
to stick my toe into it and get a real sense of what it is about.  
If it improved my image quality great.  If not, I don't really care 
as I like the quality I am already getting.  I do take all of your 
comments to heart and very much respect all on this list greatly.  
All have you have given me different things to think about in this 
endeavor.  Thank you.
