Use colour film (slides or negative), scan in colours, and convert to b/w by setting saturation to zero in Photoshop :-)
Otherwise beware: some scanner programs are not good for scanning b/w. For example: Use VueScan in stead of Minoltas software.

Hey everyone, I ordered a film scanner on the cheap and I would like to put together a pseudo darkroom. I'd like to be able to develop b&w film and then scan the neg. into the computer for manipulation. I think all I need is a developing tank and reel? I'm pretty busy right now with summer school so I was hoping someone who's done this could give me a quick summary of what to look for to order. The basic darkroom kits for $80 seem overkill since they include items for making prints along with developing the film.
You'll need
- tank - reels (should come with the tank, I like Jobo) - changing bag (If you don't have a *really* dark place to load) - bottles (I use gatorade bottles) - a tub to use as a tempering bath - a thermometer - scissors - a measuring cup or 2 - digital watch or clock with second hand - somewhere and something to hang the film (I use plastic laundry clips in the bathroom) - negative sleeves - chemicals
A film extractor is helpful. So is this link to the massive dev chart:

A good book for this sort of thing is the Film Developing Cookbook by Anchell and Troop.
