Re: Scanning Negatives

I use a polaroid sprintscan45, a medium and large format negative scanner. I
have found that I have difficulty with the density range of BW negatives,
often getting washed out highlights no matter what sort of rain dance I do.
I only get really good results with BW if I aim for flat negatives. I don't
know if the same circumstance holds for the other scanners people mention.
