Digital BW, The Print

In my experience, the 5000 does not deal well with grainier film, at it
really exacerbates the size of the grain.  For instance, I could get better
scans of Kodak High Speed Infrared film, a very grain film, on a Canon
flatbed scanner than on my Nikon film scanner.  My guess is that one of the
culprits is the hard light source.  A gentleman used to sell diffusion
panels for Minolta scanners that were said to help quit a bit with this
problem.  http://www.scanhancer.com/index.php?art=1&men=1  It wouldn't be
too hard to come up with a DIY version and give it a try.
