Digital BW, The Print

It's been an interesting read, including between the lines.

The march of technology is inevitable.  It was obvious when K3 printing was introduced that the need for dedicated B&W had just been radically reduced.  The message volume of this list reflects that.  But there will always be those of us who just like to do something different, push the envelope, and beat -- at least in some parameters -- the big companies at a fraction of their costs. 

B&W photography will survive and thrive.  And technology will not replace artistic or creative talents.  Having the machinery to make good B&W has little to do with making a compelling image.
