Digital BW, The Print

Ninja and Neat are not the only games now, though I've reviewed both in 
the past. Some of the raw software has quite decent filtering built in, 
and  I'd also consider both  Imagenomic Noiseware (I'm about to try out  
version 4.0) and also the FixerLabs NoiseFixer (available also as a part 
of their FixerBundle.)  There is a site with a lot of noise removal 
compared, but last I looked it was rather out of date.

I think you would be quite likely to find different software more suited 
to film scans and digital capture.
