RE: [Digital BW] Negative scanning workflow: Nikon Coolscan

	I have never used the roll film adapter, but: wouldn't keeping the
film rolled, even loosely, cause some extra curvature?  I cut mine in strips
of five and use the film strip adapter or the negative carrier.

	I don't know what the answer is for the histogram in Nikon scan.  I
just adjust the black and white points and try to get the flattest scan I
can.  Actually, the best negative scans I have had from the 4000ED are from
b&w chromogenic film such as Portra, or from very fine grain silver film
such as Agfa 25 (RIP).
