I've generally found those film-type "profiles"
(not the ICC kind, but the kind you find in some
film-scanner-drivers) to be useful, at best,
as starting points. Interesting that NikonScan
(3.1, at least) doesn't have them at all, yet
does a pretty good job at inverting negatives
and coming up with useful, believable images
with different types of negative film.
