What's a scanner but a box with a digital image sensor in it? A DSLR is exactly the same but much, much higher quality sensor and lens. The only difference is the software used to process the results.
I scan all my B&W with my K3 now and with a little work I find the results are far superior to those from my scanner. I get a huge benefit from shooting film - I get results that I couldn't get from shooting a digital camera, I get to use my wonderful old lenses at their intended focal length (without spending €2000 on a FF digital) and I get immense enjoyment from using my collection of film cameras.
I'm not being defensive, but I think it's a common misconception that scanning with a DSLR negates the benefits of using film in the first place. I can understand why it happens.
