Applying the film first changes the feel of the image’s contrast significantly. There is are a range of film simulations that not only simulate grain but also simulates the film’s response curve, particularly the foot and shoulder’s curves which affect black and white rendition and how well a film holds it’s details on the low and high end of the zone system scale.
The trick I use in SEP2 is that before I do anything I decide if I want to apply a film effect first. I then hit option V like Joseph recommended, and send the copy to SEP2.

Once I have what I like, and you can drop the saturation to 0 to see what it looks like in initial black and white if you ant to work in black and white, I send it to DFine to remove noise if the iso I used is 400+. I also do some dodging and burning in aperture to get the details I want in the image before it goes to any other plugins. I adjust the exposure to make sure that I don’t have any overblown highlights. I don’t mess around much with the moire setting since I don’t understand it well. Typically I’ll crank up the sharpness and edge all the way up particularly on landscapes. My workflow with it is to first make all the raw camera adjustments in aperture. It really feels like being in the darkroom again. The way you can take an image and apply black and white interpretations is nothing short of spectacular.
From my other posts, it’s no secret that SEP2 is by far my fav plugin.
