Digital BW, The Print

A scanner dedicated to film/slides is better than a flatbed with a n 
attachment. I'm told that the best is a Nikon 4000 - very pricey. I have a CanoScan FS 
2710 which is OK. For B&W film, it is best to use a chromogenic film because 
it is more  in the same dynamic range as the scanners. The best is Kodak 
Portra. Ilford XP2 doesn'r seem as clean. The chromogenic films use a C41 process, 
the same as color. Regular B&W film has silver in it which is too dense for a 
really perfect scan.
