Digital BW, The Print

I usually work from a B&W negative.  However, I'm now working on an image
that started life as a color slide.  I have periodically shot slides --
nothing like a big projected color image.  However, the 2-1/4 (Rollei SL66)
Ektachrome I'm currently working on is a real pain.  I so wish it were a
good B&W negative.

I shoot the best B&W originals I can if I want the best B&W print I can
make.

  Subject: [Digital BW] b&w neg or colour transperancy


  I'm in the process of moving from traditional analogue black &
  white fibre based printing to digital inkjet printing.
  I am wanting to find information/research/opinions on whether to
  continue to shoot b&w neg or to shoot colour transperancy
  (which is much easier to scan?)and convert to greyscale in
  photoshop.
