I agree Ken. B & W is difficult to get right. I find that if I try to improve anything, I make it look false. It's still fun though...

I should be interested if anyone clever has managed to sort out some profiles; I use mainly FP4 and HP5, although I am giving Neopan 400 a go.\

I soon ditched the profiles that came with the Polaroid SS4000 (some of which were fairly close) and instead only generate RAW TIFF files, then work with those in software (for both B&W and color films). Why don't give that a try? I've only shot TMax (100 and 3200) and Tri-X since I got my scanner, but the results have been fine. (I don't like the TMax emulsions that much and probably won't buy any more of either, but the finished images from the RAW scans have turned out as expected.)
