Now, when I said that digital B&W looks a little "0ff" (due to lack of grain) I didn’t mean to imply that that look is particularly unpleasant.
Indeed, the results now being obtained with very small cameras (the Private Driveway photo was taken with an incredibly small Canon point-and-shoot) are ones that could only be equaled in the past by using medium-format cameras . . . cameras weighing at least two pounds.
It would be interesting to go ahead and make a big digital B&W print—16x20 at least, just to see what it would look like. If I had the money. And space.
