I've had some (odd?) results in scanning it.  Sometimes, if I use the  
Epson software, I get acceptable scans.  (I'm talking about less than  
desirable exposures.)

I shot a roll recently for a friend's birthday party, low light, on a  
covered porch, at sunset, with 4 large candles on the table.  All the  
shots, save one or two on the roll, appeared to be underexposed, but  
when I scanned them with the Epson software, I actually got some  
decent prints.   Scanning the same negs with Vuescan did not work,  
for some reason.

Operator error, no doubt.  :-)   Vuescan still baffles me, at times.
