I don't use infrared film or orthochromatic film, so it's no problem.
;-)I'm talking about work, not my own 'art,' and tools for work....The
bottom line is I am doing black and white documentary work for families
and corporate clients. In doing so it has become quite obvious to me
that sooner, rather than later, I am going to have to add a decent
digital capability to my equipment collection. At this point the most
obvious way for me to go is to add a Nikon D series body, which can use
the lenses I have for my F100s...But if I could, I'd rather have an
M-like digital body...

B, D,
