Can anyone with experience in this area please advise what, if any,
are the qualitative drawbacks of shooting in color and then converting
to B&W in photoshop vs. shooting in B&W film to begin with?

Thank you for your reply.

It all depends on your desired outcome. Digital can be accepted if:
You don't need The exact look of a Fiber based print, its
accepted if you don't need the longest lasting print available.

The best way to determine is to try it first or at least look at
someone's examples to decide.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President,
or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918
