I use the Epson V600 Photo for all my medium format scans in the store. Great results, thousands of scans on it with never a failure, and only $200. If you want to do your own its the best option. Does 35mm great too.
I also use the V600 and have been very happy with it. It scans negative and positive strip film and mounted slides as well as prints. It has a scan rate between 50 and 12800 dpi I usually scan at 4800 for Kodachrome slides and 1200 for everything else. It is, however slow at higher resolutions, you may want to keep a book handy to pass the time.

đđ I have to agree - seeing the image come up in the developing tray is indeed magic, or as we say in the electronics world, FM (you can plug in your favorite adjective for the âFâ).

I use an Epson 3200 Perfection scanner and have since 2001. I scan my negatives and save them as .tif files. The scanning software, probably the best out there is Silverfast software. It produces a positive at the time of scanning.

Thanks Bob. After reading many comments/reviews, I have ordered the Epson V600 from B&H. I may be wrong, but I don't believe the Epson 3200 is still being made....but I'm sure it is a fine scanner.
Epson makes a wide variety of excellent scanners, copiers, printers, ink, paper, etc. Since I won't be scanning anything larger than 6x7cm format, this model seemed like a good choice.
I'll let you know how it works out.
