Looks like a crispy contrast monster (which I like). Is this the lens, or do raw files have this look to them as well? Basically curious if the look I see in the camera's images are inherent to the lens/sensor combo or if this is the jpeg engine giving the look.
Also considering a V1. I think I'm seeing much more contrast and saturation in the Ricoh. Any other opinions on this?

I think it's the JPEG engine. When you choose B&W, you have options of regular, or high-contrast (and within that, you can tweak the contrast a bit more).
I have some RAW files here if they'd be of any help.

There are actually 3 B&W settings to choose from: regular, high contrast and b&w (toning effect). You can adjust the contrast on all three settings as well as some various other adjustments, as uniku said above. I have been having fun with the b&w (TE) then bumping up the contrast. I'm walking out the door atm, but I can post some various samples in a bit.

I left all the additional adjustments neutral, but there is plenty of room to play around.

Many Thanks to both of you!
Very helpful information. The raw files at high iso look much better than what I have gotten from a Canon S90.
