"Just for fun and profit", here are some images of a few other dust-lane ellipticals. These galaxies are all, in my view, excellent challenges for imagers:

NGC 5266:



NGC 3108 :



And finally, here is an elliptical galaxy which contains a very-large-scale and high-contrast disk of dust!! None other than NGC 383:
(the dust disk is shown in the inset at top right)
