 I think it works if it digital ice is C41 BW films.

C-41 black and white is an oxymoron.
By definition, all C-41 films are colour films.
Hence the term chromogenic.
And yes, it works fine with them.

 scanner as an investment? i suppose you invest in pc's as well? :)

If you plan to keep it and use it for a while, then it's not a bad
idea.

 i scanned a few rolls of BW (some tmax100, some trix, some really
old svema) on the nikon -- 
 apart from the fact that ice is not working with it, i couldn't see
anything to complain about.
 just make sure you save and edit all in 16 bit mode, otherwise all
you'll have is 256 shades of grey.



Digital Ice doesn't work with black and white film.
