Re: [Digital BW] Shooting Digitally

Mike, I'd never try that with a D30!	  I only use it for closeups, and
panoramas, where you overlap 3 images or so, which of course increases
resolution, even at infinity. For what I want to use it for it's great. 
I also have a rollei sl66 and Fujica 6x9 for the landscapes.
