There are already several "scanners" on the market that basically provide the duplicator + lens + sensor. They are inexpensive and claim to be fast, but I have heard negative things about them. I believe that true scanning is needed to properly handle scratches, dust, etc.
The Pentax is not a scanner (check the link) but a bellows device for use with a camera. Resolution would be that of the camera attached. You're right about infrared based scratch suppression, but - as I mentioned - even a mid level flatbed like the Epson V750 does not give what I consider good results as far as resolution, sharpness.
