I am using a Plaroid sprintscan 35 Plus and am very happy with it. As for your monitor, you should run the Adobe Gamma program in your windows control panel if you are using PhotoShop 5. http://www.cix.co.uk/~tsphoto/ I myself like to scan prints made of the B&W negatives because of the changes made during printing regarding doging, burning, contreast, and etc. I just haven't found Photoshop to be as easy and as seamless for the doging and burning.
