The Microtek 2500T may have been an 8 bits only scanner, but it was a
capable scanner for b&w negatives. It may be surpassed by newer
dedicated mf scanner but I'm not sure that the prosumer level scanners
are better.

Check out this website, were the images were scanned on a Microtek
2500T scanner. That's the Jerry Olson website, whom is no longer with us.
