Digital BW, The Print

I second Eric's recommendation.  Filim and scanner is a lovely 
combination that produces beautiful results.  And, if ever a better 
scanner comes on the market, you still have your film to rescan.  
When better cameras come on the market with digital, their old 
digital files are still what they are.  NO chance for improvement 
with technology.
