The original comments were not being made RAW vs JPEG but rather what RAW gave 
ou. We were looking at film vs digital in a tonal sense. We had not gone down 
he path of format; 35mm vs 8x10, 1/2 frame vs Full frame."
Eric,
aybe what is confusing me, is why there is even a discussion about "film vs 
igital" in a forum about "Digital BW."  There are many other locations for such 
 discussion.  There is no comparison, its talking apples and oranges.  Both are 
ruit, you may have a preference, but they will never taste the same.  
After using film for 72 years and digital for one, will never go back to film. 
oubt any discussion it would convince anyone, who chooses to use digital...  
hen I can get what is desired in a finished print from digital, that is all 
hat counts. Went to your website, both of them.  If those images are shot with 
ilm, am not convinced that you are doing better with film, than can be done 
ith digital.
