It depends on the film format. I have a flatbed Epson Photo 2450 that can handle 120 and 4x5 film, but I would strongly advise that you get this done professionally. There's a huge difference between the results you get from a $20,000 drum scanner vs. a flatbed home scanner.
depends why you need the scans and what resolution you need, and also if you need to adjust the gamma.
A home scanner will get you web page quality. a drum scanner will get you publish in a book quality. If you just need to see what they are, then you may as well just print them opticaly.
If you are dealing with old portrait negatives, then printing with all the required dodging and burning in fallowedby a scan of the print might be the best way.
