in a bandwidth limited image like a scan or a digital sensor, it is possible, if the final output is a digital print. it is possible, without too much exotic hardware or software, to produce a print where you can simulate the appearance of any color film source provided that the capture was done at adequate resolution for the print size and you captured at least the dynamic range that the film captures. stay with small print sizes like 8x10 and use multiple exposures to capture enough range and the *istD will do. B&W film is another matter, right now.
