response to a digest post. Second it's not good etiquette to post the entire digest back to the list. Just the part you're
replying to would be just fine. (Besides I have no Idea how this was developing and that's half the fun).

I understand peoples feelings about digital and pentax but I would argue that
digital has not mastered B&W to my satisfaction. I develop and print my own B&W and putting digital on silver paper is no easy matter. Sure digital is easier to work with than color film but I think B&W is a art form that will be around for a while - and I like the affect that silver has to offer. I have seen color prints that were done by hand from friends and I don't think a color printer can match it. So, I would not be chucking your film gear into the dust bind quite yet. The digital revolution has just started . Lets see how Pentax fairs. Keep in mind that Pentax has been traditionally a very innovative company. Canon - and other lens makers - has just finally caught up with Pentax in lens quality. Pentax still makes some of the best optics on the market - and it is nice to see metal autofocus lenses.
