It's not completely useless for BW. I've made some decent conversions and have printed them with some success on my Epson 2200. With a dedicated BW printer that uses a full set of grayscale inks, very good results are possible. I've seen some great inkjet BW prints in some pro portfolios. However, I don't want to give up my darkroom yet, and I'll continue to shoot some BW on film. I've been thinking about going out with the Leica or the 6x7 this weekend and parking the digital. I need some variety in my life. Paul
