I scan negs on the Imacon 848 using the Imacon-supplied generic
profile, and let FlexColor convert to ProPhoto RGB. I don't make any
corrections in the scanning software, so the scan is usually flat
with a cyan cast.
Then I do a very quick correction in Photoshop. The technique is described in

Thus far, it's the best approach I've found to neg scanning, but I'm
always willing to learn...

I am about to start a job scanning a large number of negatives (Fuji
35mm film) and am wondering how others approach the issue of a
source profile. I am aware that there is a negative version of the
IT8, but I don't have it and wouldn't have time to acquire it before
starting (I'm also not sure that it's supported by either Monaco
Profiler or GM ProfileMaker..though it is for Fuji ColourKit I
believe).
I have heard from others that assigning sRGB to the negative scans
is beneficial as the gamut is similar to negative film. I've tried
this and the results were acceptable...since I don't have prints, I
don't really have a reference as to what the final scan should look
like as one would with positives. I 'm fairly comfortable with
adjusting the image to a natural looking photo, but does anyone have
any other approaches regarding the source profile that have worked
well?
