My worst problems come not just from dust but from crap that the lab left on
them. I keep a small blower-brush beside the workstation to get rid of 99% of
the dust, not just to keep it off my scanned image but also

Yes, the S20 also leaves a lot to be desired when scanning b&w. Setting
exposure to zero helps, but still not what I would call a good scan. I've
been trying Vuescan for b&w, and with a lot of trial and error and can
usually get a usable scan, but still nothing to write home about.

Paul,
When I had an S20 I found that all of my scanning improved quite a bit by
using Ed hamrick's VueScan software. You can find it at www.hamrick.com.
You can download a trial version and try it out. I was immediately sold

To attach a screwmount lens to a K-Mount camera, you need the M42 to K

Gary,
I think I paid $170 USD from KEH. After about 8 rolls
of film, I sold it because it was always changing its
mind about where it wanted to focus. So the auto-focus
feature was pretty useless when trying to shoot
candids. Maybe you will luck out and not be bothered
by the focus-hunt boogie.
A too high shutterspeed will not give you underexposure, but will partially
not expose the negative at all, because during the flash the shutter is
obscuring the negative partially. The part of the negative that is exposed
however should still show a correct exposure.
