Well, if you shoot a lot of film, you can do it yourself by getting a Nikon 
9000 and a bulk film adapter. It can scan35 and medium format. I use the 
older 35mm only model LS-4000. Typically I scan in a whole roll of 36-38 
pics at around 2000 DPI for "proof" and for web presentation. The whole 
process there take about an hour (unattended). Anything I want higher 
quality I will rescan at 4000 DPI.

I think the 9000 runs you about $3000? So if you shoot around 300 rolls 
(and less if you count the quality scans), you are there :-)
