I've regularly scanned B&W film negatives (scanned using VueScan and a
Nikon LS-40 film scanner) and brought them into LR.
My scan files are either TIFFs or TIFF encapsulated DNG files. I let
Vuescan do the appropriate negative-positive inversion. E.G.:

Contax Tix + Kodak Advantix B&W
Vuescan is what I used, but I just got it and am not really familiar with it
yet. How do you get it to do the inversion when saving to a TIFF? I went
through the manual and tried to find a setting for it, but I couldn't figure it
out. The previews show positives, but the final scans were negatives. I
thought that maybe since it was a raw output that Vuescan wouldn't change it.
That's atrange. I scan B&W negatives to from time to time, using TIFF as
output format, and they show up as positive both in the preview and
output. I select "B&W Negative" for the input format and 8-bit or 16-bit
grayscale file format (in the "Output" tab.) Are you sure you've tried
straight TIFF output, as opposed to DNG/raw? Which I've never tried, but
I'm assuming it means there is no inversion or other processing.
Note that I do see weird inconsistencies between the preview and "scan"
view within Vuescan itself from time to time, though. These tend to go
away if I try again...
