"I have this lens and love it !!! As far as comparing to the 60mm that'd depend on what you want out of the lens. I bought it as a portrait lens that allows me to play with Macro photography which I had never done. I've shot some flowers…"

"for macro either the 105mm Micro or 105mm DC. If you can afford the 200mm Micro."

hey John, there are many ways to get a good black and white image from a color digital image. If you use Photoshop the quickest and best way that I use is to use a gradient map. Check out this link for how to do it: Photoshop Essentials: B&W Gradient Map

You can also use the Channel Mixer for more detailed control. This is somewhat more time consuming but it will give you a bit better look-- for example you can make the blue in the sky darker.

In general, simply converting a color image to Greyscale will not give you too much "oompf" in your photos, because you're just losing a lot of color data. Using either the Gradient Map or Channel Mixer converts each color into a different tone.
