For me one of the most useful attributes of the new digital realm most of us 
move in is that we have a black and white camera and a colour camera built 
into one. What is more, we have every speed of film plus some at our 
disposal every time we put that camera to our eye. i do not need a b&w 
camera and a colour camera. I have them both in a single unit and can use 
them accordingly. If you continue thinking of b&w as a 'spin-off' of the 
colour digital camera you have slung around your neck you will never be a 
successful b&w photographer. It would be like owning a car and only ever 
using one of its gears.
