Hi Peter,
When I have had a lot of film to scan I have borrowed a Kodak RFS 3600 off
Kodak (advantage of being the editor of photo magazines), as this will batch
scan a whole uncut roll of film. Otherwise I use a Canon FS4000 and scan a
strip of 6 at a time. I don't shoot that much film anymore so this works for
me.

I always scan at the maximum resolution that is appropriate to the film
stock. Then the film gets files and never looked at again and the high res
files get indexed with Canto Cumulus after burning to CD.

I've never felt it made sense, for me, to scan at a low res. Because most of
my personal photography gets heavily manipulated (see www.artinyourface.com)
I need access to my imagery as 'components'.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Wayne
