Subject: [Digital BW] DSLR -- Is it t ime yet ?

I've been asking myself if I should go ahead with a digital camera 
for b&w prints. Up to now, I've not had much success with b&w prints 
from digital camera. I get posterisation and the skin texture in 
portraits are not what I looking for.

I chose sample #6, because there's lot of black area where 
posterisation would show, converted it to b&w and printed it at 
12"x18" without resampling using the UT inkset.

I'm still wondering if I like the skin texture and tones.

It's not very sharp to say the least.
I have a B&W portrait from the 1Ds that really shows the quality of an 11mp
SLR and I doubt that you could fault it.
