Re: Do most of you still shoot b&w on film?

2004-02-16 by Robert

Hi Phil:  Nice to see that you're still lurking around here.  I am 
debating whether to jump on board with one of the new mid-priced 
digital cameras (Canon 10D, etc.), or buy a Contax G2 system second 
hand and wait another year before I consider digital.  I love the 
feel of the Contax, but I wondered how many of the fine art 
photographers in this forum shoot their b&w on digital now.
