Hum.  I'd get the Leafscan ;-)

IMO, it doesn't get any better than this for B&W scanning since it doesn't
scan B&W in RGB, but using a single neutral density filter.  Especially if
you also do 35mm, since the Leafscan scans 35mm at 5080.

There is a Polaroid 45 I believe, but I really know nothing about it.
