Not to sound flippant but try harder with Vuescan. NikonScan is awful.
As for exact settings for B&W with Vuescan it really varies, not only
emulsion to emulsion but exposure to exposure. Do not try for a
"perfect" look from the scan but for a good, wide histogram. This will
look flatter than desired after the scan but then 16-bit levels and
curves tweaking in Photoshop is FAR better than using the scanner
software for corrections and possible clipping of the histogram edges.

I tried Silverfast Ai and it seemed to do an ok job but I cannot
imagine why anyone would pay $300 for it.

Best regards,
