In my experience, the look of traditional B&W is very difficult to
credibly achieve by any scheme other than initially capturing on
B&W film.

The grain structure and associated acuteness are particularly
critical; the specific spectral responses and density curves
are also important, though perhaps possible to adjust from a
color capture.
