Subject: [Leica] B&W Film Scanning and the Epson 2450

I have an Epson 2450. My experience with scanning is basically limited to 
that scanner. Here are my questions:

     Can anyone here can tell me what has worked best with that scanner and 
B&W (silver film).

     Is it okay to use Twain? I can't seem to link my Silverfast to that 
scanner having tried to load it
     unsuccessfully on several occasions. I scan through Twain and edit in 
PS Elements.

     I find scanning at higher resolution than 1600 takes a really long 
time. Is this normal.

     Slide scans don't come close to the real thing...any surprise there?

Some of my results are pretty good. Suggestions greatly appreciated.... I 
will look for an upgrade pretty soon but not ready to throw this one in with 
the towel yet.

Thanks in advance.
David
