Neither. T Max 100 or HP5+.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] Using Black & White settings in camera


Hi there
Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy I use the inboard Black and white jpeg 
setting on my
camera (Nikon D200, 70-200 f2.8). I shoot actor's headshots and this saves a 
heck of a lot
of time.  Anybody else do this or are we all RAW snobs? Or Channel mixers? 
It would be great
to have a survey of this group to see the spread.

When I print  (Epson 4000) on Lustre paper they look a little wishy washy 
(silvery... like T-
Max compared to Plus-X film), but on the Enhanced Matte, Niiice, lots of 
gutsy midtones.
That is probably another topic, but does anyone agree that the Matte paper 
gives a better
B&W? So much bronzing on the 4000.
