Yeah I have a film scanner. I can get fairly decent results with it. It's made by a company named Plustek. It scans slides really well also. Scanning is a real pain and film can be very "noisy" depending on how well it was exposed. Then there's the dust and spots that the scanner seems to pick up all over the place. Infrared dust and scratch removal in the scanner hardware does a decent job sometimes, but only works for color film, because the silver crystals on true B&W throw it off.
It's fun, but not nearly as convenient.
