Digital BW, The Print

First of all, the way a color film and they way a B&W film reacts to 
light is very different, I'm not sure if there is a color curve in 
Photoshop that you could correct for the difference or not.

Second, shooting B&W give you much better control over your exposure 
and development than a color neg will.

If someone wants  a quality B&W image then I would suggest shooting the 
image in B&W,
