I'll simply echo what most have already said about shooting in RAW and then converting to B/W. For the most part, digital cameras in B/W mode can't touch the tonality a good B/W film gives you. Try playing around with the different filters (Blue, Green, Red etc.) available in PS under the B/W presets. Also, try messing around with the 6 individual color %'s to get a feel. Have fun and tinker with them and don't feel like you're tied down to one way of converting your images.</p>
