If you’ve got a recent Lightroom, go WAY down to the bottom of the develop tab and just under “Process”, look at the “Profile” pull-down - it gives you a bunch of presets based on Fujifilm film products, four of which are B&W. I find that often one of them does the trick. (There are also five nice color presets.)
But Darren’s right, Silver Efex is pretty well pure magic. I lost free access when I left Google, but I found that for any one of my pix, I could find a Silver Efex preset that made me doubt that I could do better by hand.
