Digital BW, The Print

I recently attended a workshop (Maine Photographic Workshops) taught by Stephen 
Johnson (http://www.sjphoto.com/). He has made some stunning landscapes using the 
BetterLight scan back. I have rarely seen better images than what he has produced with 
this system. Out of my price range, but something to look at if that style of photography is 
for you, and if it's within your budget. Clearly not for sports photography -- exposures are 
for something like 30 seconds.
