At the risk of wandering off-topic: a B&W capture is different than a color capture.
The crystalline nature of the B&W capture as well as the spectral and density
response is just different than that of a color capture; it's possible to apply
filters to a color scan to emulate these effects, but sometimes there's nothing
like the real thing.
