"Dieder Bylsma" cited the NYTimes article about scanning contact sheets to rescue images where the negatives had been destroyed. Note they used a drum scanner to do this scanning:
"Quad used its highest-quality upright drum scanner, an $85,000 machine called the Heidelberg's Prime Scan 8400, to turn the photos into digital images, at 350 dots per inch. Then it used Photoshop to match the tones to those of actual prints made during Mr. Lowe's lifetime."). Maybe an EverSmart flatbed scanner (~$25,000) would do the same thing, but both are a long way from what we think of as flatbed or film scanners.
