Digital BW, The Print

I just bought a refurbished Minolta scanner. I am really impressed with the B&W scanning of my agfapan APX 100. On the other hand, I tried to scan the new Fuji pro 160S 35mm film and it was awful. The blue sky came out gray looking. I tried a picture of my daughter and it was not sharp at all. It could be because it's a newer film and it has a different emulsion. I have not tried an older type film.
Is it supposed to be  a good scanner?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.
