Expanding on what Bill says, there are more than one B&W film that can
be processed right along with everybody else's color snaps in your local
one hour lab. AG and others are expert on this.
If you want an inexpensive scanner, I have a Canon FS2710 for sale.
Makes excellent 2720 dpi scans. It's SCSI and comes with its own SCSI
card, which worked with Win98 and XP for me, but does require a
motherboard slot unless you already have a SCSI card.
Requires pushing the film holder to the next frame by hand and doesn't
have IR dust removal. Complete like new in box with all accessories, $65
plus shipping.
