Coolscans use LEDs as a light source. This is very directional light and is severely blocked by silver particles in conventional B&W negatives. The result is that scanner's Dmax falls down to about 2 (the value was measured by one of German's photo magazines - other manufacturers' scanners had this about 3) - scans look really bad. Most scanners with cold cathode lamps (like this Flextight or Minoltas) are far better in this regard.
