Andrew,

If you can invest in time and have a film scanner already I'd say doing your own scanning is the most economical way to go. I understand that pro lab like ColorSix, http://www.colorsix.com/pricelist1.asp#1a , charges $10 per 135 frame.

Andrew,

DIY may be the best way forward but film scanning is time consuming. Nikon produces some great 135 film scanners on the market. I'm able to obtain pro result from it. See for yourself ...

I use Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED

I have not used a (flatbed) 8800F myself but from reviews I read ...
If you need a scanner that scans both film and prints, and you are more concerned with the prints, the 8800F is an ideal choice. If your needs are more film-based than print-based, look at dedicated film scanner instead.

Digital ICE is effective in getting rid of dust spots and scratches on film.
