I scan 35mm B&W on my old scsi HP PhotoSmart. I scan as color negative and then remove the color before the final scan. The PhotoSmart will scan color negatives at 2400dpi but will only scan B&W negatives at 1200dpi. I am very happy with the results of the scans.

I know you do a lot of MF so it would not be adequate for that. It is relatively inexpensive for what it does and the later models have the convenience of USB.
