Get a Pakon 135+. I can scan a roll of 36 with digital ICE @ 2000x3000 (real resolution, not interpolated) in like 5 minutes, unattended. The colors are gorgeous too, especially the skin tones. The prices have risen from $250 to $350 recently though, I think because of a Steve Huffman article on it. I would advise against it if you shoot a lot of slides or B&W that need careful tone post-processing. The 135 has a fixed blue filter on the sensor so you lose some dynamic range if it isn't color negatives. Also it uses DX coding to split frames, so it chokes with film without the coding.

How well do those work with film that's already been cut into strips? Would have been perfect for digitizing all my family's old negs (bit late now), but maybe someday.
