I got drunk last night and ordered a V500 from B&H  That's the best negative scanner that I'm gonna find for $125, right?

HPL posted:Unlike many things you can do while drunk, ordering a V500 is something you probably won't regret unless you shoot large format.

I usually go with T-Max 100- is that alright for scanning?

Whenever I try to tweak anything and bring the exposure down the contrast goes to poo poo and everything gets super grainy. Is this just a problem inherent to cheap scanners, or is there something I can actually do about it? Here's an example from a roll of tri-x. Just looking at the negative the exposure looks fine, but with the scanner I get this:
