Aha! I  didn't get that out of the question. 

Not sure, however, that a  -single- channel of a RAW image would be any
-less sharp- than the  Foveon(sp?)


I have done some amazing B&W images using the older Foveon SD-9 and  it's 
amazing. In it's RAW file converter (the only way it works), you can create  a 14 
Megapixel file that's amazingly sharp. Using the 50mm macro lens at f/8 it  
rivals some stuff I've seen from 6x7 Tmax.
 
The sharpness comes from pure silicon with no Bayer or Anti Aliasing  filters 
to get in the way. Email me if you want a sample file.
