Subject: [Leica] So do I need Vuescan for B&W silver halide?

Now that VueScan (the "pro" version) saves as DNG files you can pretty
much disregard the rest of the horrible interface and use it simply to
run the film-scanner and then use your image editor of choice to work
the image afterwards.

This is, to me, a Good Thing.
