Using Black & White settings in camera

2007-03-13 by jomphoto

Hi there
Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy I use the inboard Black and white jpeg setting on my 
camera (Nikon D200, 70-200 2.8). 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.

Neither. T Max 100 or HP5+.
