i posted a message here earlier but it seems to have got lost in the ether...lol i also use film most of the time. i have a little digi which i use when the slr is inconvenient. most of the b&w stuff in my gallery is film. my sentiments on digital is the same as what michelle mentioned in her post. i would also stick with the nikkor lenses if you are going digital.

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt
