But I always have to ask myself why I would want any of my digital
images to look like some particular type of film. I don't.

I visited the local pro camera shop this afternoon, and the resident
B&W expert was there behind the counter. Since there were very few
customers, I got to speak with him at length. I described what I had
been doing, what the results were, and what my expectations were.
He told me that the nature of digital B&W photography is such that
most, if not all digital cameras have similar problems with B&W, that
they will not process filters (either glass or internal emulations)
properly, and that the results are far from what we experience with
B&W film. That, he said repeatedly, is the nature of the
technology.
As I described the lack of darkening sky when going through yellow,
then orange, and finally red filters he just nodded. Seems that the
problem is widely known and that there is little that can be done to
overcome it.
He did recommend a B&W post processing software by the name of
"Silver Affects Pro". I'm going to look into that tomorrow when I
have a WiFi connection.
