I've been taking more personal color pictures with my 30D, than I have on color film, but when I want to record an image that speaks to me as B&W, I feel it is more appropriate to use a medium that has ONLY that capability. It appears I've evolved into a color=digital/B&W=film mode. I guess I just believe the decision on monochrome or color should come at the time of exposure, and be irrevocable. The other part of this is that my film cameras are just so much simpler and more fun to use. They have no menus, buttons, or batteries, just one-function controls, they're smaller, and they focus where I tell them to. ;~) Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/
