Sandy - I can not speak to negative films, or scanning for that
matter. I would note that Kodak claims that their new Ektachrome
duplicating film "Edupe" is designed specifically for scanning. You
might check with the folks at Ilford because I seem to recall they
made similar claims for their proprietary B&W transparency film. I'd
be skeptical though since claims about a products positive aspects are
often cooked up by the folks in charge of marketing and propaganda.
