Adam,
I particularly find scanning BW negatives as RAW mind bending! Suddenly when 
you open it in Adobe Camera RAW you have a negative on the screen!
Always blows my mind when I try to play with it in RAW. Probably useless to 
scan these into RAW, but it's fun...
:-)
Best,
Bob

Much as a I think VueScan has a GUI design worthy of an early cold-war
Soviet design (ie: user hostile), it's ability to save the raw Nikon
scan as a DNG file is insanely useful and worth all the rest of the
awful design in the application. Just getting the scans into the
computer so you can work on them in Photoshop (or other image editor)
is the big thing and VueScan will do that without mucking around with
the bits and bytes.
