I'm starting to do some research on camera specifically designed as B/W platforms, and have found nothing out there on the internets...
There's the Fuji IS-1, the infrared camera, which does shoot color but has been used as a basic platform for the IR B/W guys, there's the Sigma/Foveon camera, the SD14, which, back in pre-release mode was making some absolutely astounding B/W images (before they really got the color to be acceptable) and there's the Mega-Vision E-Series MonoChrome, which I can't even really tell if it's a real-live product or not.
It seems like this would be the kind of thing that would naturally spawn an on-line cult, but I got nothing. Is there something on LL I'm missing? Anybody have any interesting sites to share?
