Because RGB gives the image maker something else to manipulate. Just like B&W filters on your old Heliar Superb. gar

Better control when you are editing the file to print.

Greyscale conversion has to happen during conversion. When shooting in high JPG, even if I set the saturation to black & white, but the camera still shoots in the sRGB color space (color). The file still has to be converted to greyscale later. What this means is, no matter what setting you shoot with, unless you can control the color space up front, you are shooting in color. keithz

My reason for shooting color rather than B&W is that, now that I am printing digitally, is that I can look at each color neg with any of 10 different digital color "filters", each of which gives a somewhat different view of the image data - just like using filters in front of the lens, but live and interactively. Plus I can conceivably mix and match any combination of those "color filters" to give effects like using various filters on the lens and some that probably don't even exist. Of course I don't often do that any more, I just use the Channel Mixer in RGB to bring out the details I want to make prominent or get a certain look or Layer different Channels for separating areas by color effect.
