I don't see less tonality in my digital B/W. I usually shoot in colour and then do the conversion either in Photoshop (via Lab minus a and b) or more recently in Lightroom, because it's easier to control the grey value of the various colours. http://www.fotoralf.de/fotos/pages/0024.html http://www.fotoralf.de/fotos/pages/0020.html http://www.fotoralf.de/fotos/pages/0063.html http://www.fotoralf.de/fotos/pages/0196.html http://www.fotoralf.de/fotos/pages/0087.html Ooops, sorry, the last one was IR. ;-) No filters employed in shooting, with the obvious exception of the IR filter.
