LS2000 is very fine scanner for colour slides (E-6). But it is not so good for b&w material though - no matter if C-41 or classic. Especially in case of classic, silver based b&w materials there's a problem with LED's light, which is directional and blocked by silver particles. It results in very low Dmax - according to tests in Colour Foto a few years ago it was about 2... Nikon has managed to improve this in the latest batch of their film scanners. Minolta's scanners are much better in this regard - especially Elite II is worth looking for as it has modern firewire connection to computer, quite recent software and low prices on eBay.
