I believe good B&W can be done with digital, but you really need to have a B&W mindset when making
the photo. Too many B&W digital photos are of the "the colors look like hell lets change it to
B&W" sort. What makes a good B&W photo is almost the exact opposite of what makes a good color
photo: High contrast, deep shadows, tone rather than color differentiation, bold light patterns, etc.

Hi Kevin,
If one is shooting digital there's really no such thing as B&W ... shooting
a desaturated image is generally a piss-poor substitute for post processing
the captured image using good quality editing software (THERE! - all the
buzz words in one sentence <LOL>)
Second, people don't want to develop B&W film, or can't find a lab that
will do it for them, so they'll shoot color, scan the film, and the process
it in Photoshop to make it look like B&W.
I am not advocating these options, although I sometimes use them.

This may sound a little naive, but, why not just shoot with a B&W film?
