As a recent project, I went back through my archives to re-process some of my travel photos as monochrome images. Using the latest plug-ins, I was able to create a look that I liked and which reminded me of how I processed a lot of my B&W film images. (Full gallery here: Meanderings in Monochrome)
The files are from different cameras from different eras:
Japan & Korea: Nikon D1
France, Switzerland, Bavaria, Austria: Nikon D1x
London: Nikon Coolpix 8800
Amsterdam, Budapest & Moscow: Leica Digilux 2
Paris: Epson R-D1
All files (except those from the Epson R-D1) were jpegs, but the PP routine was similar for all:
ACR -> PS6 -> Topaz Denoise (optional) ->
Nik Color Efex Pro 4 (optional), using Detail Extractor (to yield some tooth to the image) & sometimes GND filters ->
Nik Silver Efex Pro 2, using some custom presets I've created.
Here's a few examples:

Feedback is welcome.
