Curiosity about B & W Excellence

I have a Minolta MAXXUM 7000AF(75~300 4.5 & 35~70 lenses)and am off to The Netherlands(7/15) for about a 10 days(4th trip). I have decided to take Black and White film with me and intend to take a few photos.

I really enjoy shooting faces... lines, character, etc... flowers... some buildings... but really want detail and am interested in doing these in B & W.

I am thinking about buying a new camera MINOLTA 600si or just keeping mine and "going for it" but think I need to get a better lens or two. Do you have any advise for me?

Buy a new camera? Which lenses to buy? Hints for B & W photography?

Thanks

H
