Re: [Digital BW] New B&W Digital SLR

Austin, the next time we have another print exchange I'll include a D30
print. You can then tell me what detail seems to be missing.  I was
going to include a D30 print in the last exchange, but didn't feel I had
a strong enough image yet, as I had just started using the camera. 
Technically I know your correct, but I truly am quite happy with the
quality of the D-30 in 8x10's for distant pictures, and 12x18 prints for
closeups, in color OR black and white.
