Pentax system

Hello,
I am not sure anyone is still communicating out there with this group. I have a Pentax system from 28-300 with Spotmatics, ESs, and other bodies that I may use to teach fundamentals of photography to my daughter. I use Nikon DX and FX digital for 35 mm and film for 6x6 cm to 4"x5" with various SLRs and RFs.

I will not setup for printing in a darkroom as I did 35 yrs ago, but will have film scanned (develop my own film in darkroom) and use the technical stuff available to print. A 35 mm slide or negative requires a special film scanner. I am thinklng about using one for B&W film from the Pentax system and also for the 1,000 of old chromes I have. No Kodachrome is a disappointment, but I have not tried Fuji Velvia 50 yet, so it may be as good or better. Has anyone used a 35 mm film scanner for there negs and chromes?

Thanks.
Joe
