James,

3x4 is tough in a true film scanner. You would have to go up to the 
$4,000+ range with a glass film carrier. Say a Polaroid 45u at $4,200.

What is the final print size you want for these 150 negatives? If you 
are planing prints in the 8x10 range or even 11x14, a flatbed scanner 
might do the job for you.
