I used to own the HP S20 scanner. It's dead reliable. Easy to use. Good quality for 2400 dpi. You can make very good prints up to around 8 x 10. At $100.00 it's an absolute steal.
For B/W film, chromogenic film (C-41 color process) works best, but that's true of all film scanners I've used. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
