I used to scan a lot of film ... probably up to five rolls of film a week, selectively ... and it is *always* time consuming, tedious and difficult to get top notch results. I've done it with scanners, with macro setups, etc etc etc. Most of the professionals I've talked to in the past year are now outsourcing this work to ScanCafe (http://scancafe.com/). The results look very good, and at $190 to scan a thousand negatives ($240 for a thousand slides), it is great time and money savings. I now only scan a few frames a year at most as I explore my film archives. For that level of endeavor, I use the Nikon Coolscan IV ED and Vuescan software to capture the image data. I do any required editing in Lightroom and Photoshop CS2.
