Negative scanner - any ideas?

Hi All I'm thinking that scanners (film and flatbed) will have improved at the same rate as digital cameras. Does anyone have any thoughts on or experience with a suitable scanner which might save me having to set up a wet dark room to make more creative use of 35mm black and white negatives? I have a veho slide scanner which gives images which are ok for e-mailing but maybe not for decent sized prints. One computer magazing mentions a C*non flatbed (9000F) as being a top choice but doesnt review it as a photo tool.

As Kris says, it is a lengthy time consuming business but I get much higher quality than any commercial ones I have had made and that includes ones from a 'pro' lab.
