For some reason, all the effort has gone into digital camera's and the film scanner market has pretty much stood still. If you think that's expensive, look at the prices of some of the imacon scanners. But, despite the price, when I was looking around they were still pretty slow for doing a big batches of negs. In fact, I was unable to find a fast way of scanning large quantities of negs at high resolution with ICE.
