This technique is what I use for scanning B&W. As the Caveman says, it seems to work better. Also note that chromogenic (C-41 process) B&W films scan better than traditional types. Scanners seem to like dye clouds better than grains. Still, nothing beats traditional darkroom process for B&W. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
