So why  not scan the negs on the Umax? Because it doesn't do B&W well (or at
all)? Because it doesn't do 35 well?

Forgive the basic questions. I'm eager to cross the digital divide, but
since I shoot 120 as well as 35, I'm hoping to find one scanner that will
handle both. And good for color and B&W. And not too expensive. The Umax
looks good but I'm can't tell if it can handle all these variations.

Any and all suggestions appreciated.
