I used to have a second camera body of the same brand and lens mount
apparatus as my good 35mm camera. I kept one loaded with color slide
film and one with B&W. When I was shooting, I'd set up lights and
camera where I wanted them, shoot one, then switch camera bodies and
lenses and shoot the other, then move on to another setup. And Scott is
right- B&W is easier, because of the light color thing. You also only
need to shoot about three exposures of each setup, just to bracket
exposures, whereas with color you usually shoot many identical shots of
the same setup.
But since the shutter on my second camera died, I've had my B&W photos
made from color slides. They seem to work fine for what I need. But
it's time to go back to the used camera shop and get another second
camera. Note that it doesn't have to have any lens at all on it- the
one from your good, or original, camera is fine.

Marta,
depending on where you are, all you need to do is take it into a pro photo
processsing house. when you take a B&W off of a slide alot is lost mostly
in contrast. A standard phot finisher will likely do it but the result
willnot bethe best. If the quality counts take it to a proshop where they
can control the process better and give you better results.

This can be done; you'll probably need to have an
internagative made, and then the print. Internegative
prices vary a lot - from $2 to $16 each, so shop around.
Some shops are set up with computer equipment to make
a color photocopy directly from a slide; they may be able
to tinker with the settings to produce black-and-white;
I don't know.
Black-and-white prints made from color originals tend
to have a somewhat 'flattened' range of values.
Consider doctoring it up on computer for the final
result.
Note, though, that shooting your own black-and-white
photography is much easier than color. You don't have
to worry about the color of your light sources. You
may be pleasantly surprised at the result!

I'm tuning in late to this thread, so this might be
redundant and might be a
long shot. Marta, if you know someone who can scan
the slide for you and
someone who had a good graphics program, you can
import the scan into a
graphics software package like Adobe Photoshop and
change it to black and
white, adjust the contrast, etc., and then you can
print it on photographic
printer paper with an inkjet printer. I needed a b&w
of a color monotype
print for which I didn't have the slide. A friend had
scanned it for a
website, I copied the image from the website and used
this process with
decent results.
