Hi, Ken ... Sure ... I'm often shooting in changing light, going from dark to light situations, sometimes grab a shot or two without thinking about exposure or ISO, sometimes shooting with older lenses, sometimes with newer lenses, sometimes I previsualize a photo's result, which means that I may want over or under exposure compared to the meter, and I'll see the final image with certain adjustments in mind, which means I need latitude and flexibility that JPEG can't give me. Also, I like the idea of being able to use the raw file in other ways later on - maybe changing the interpretation of a photo. I suppose I've spent too many years in the darkroom where a lot of adjustments can be made. Never cared much for slide film, so shooting with the transparency state of mind is odd for me - plus I like to do B&W conversions and I believe RAW allows greater opportinities for that as well. Not that it can't be done with JPEG, but there seems to be greater flexibility with raw.
