I shoot mostly 35mm, some mf, and an even smaller amount of view camera formats. I already have the same scanner. 
A perverse thought I keep having is that it might be possible to bleach the silver out of a neg & redevelop with something that can be scanned easily. Has anyone done this? A few of my scans are really terrible.

What film sizes do you use?

For me, probably the best single investment I made in digital was the Nikon 8000 medium format film scanner.  Someday I'll get around to re-scanning all the images I used a flatbed for, but that's a lot of lost time.

Yes, it's worth paying your dues to get the real thing.

Lots of options there, and this is the place to learn about them.
