I should add that I don't change the EXIF on my scans at all. What I do do is tag them with a lot of keywords. I use Photo Mechanic, but you can definitely do the same with Bridge and probably Lightroom or Aperture. Anyway, I have a whole tree of keywords built up so I can very quickly tag photos with the camera, lens, film, developer, dev time+temp, and any other pertinent tags like subject name, negative number, etc. Photo Mechanic also fills in other IPTC tags for me like my name, a copyright notification, web URL, and location of the photo (state/country). The nice thing about this system is when I upload stuff to flickr it shows up in the tag area and is searchable.
