I recently had a demo of the Nikon film scanner and was VERY impressed. 
One of the neat features was a film holder so you can scan a roll of 
UNMOUNTED slides or negatives. Unfortunately, it lists for nearly 
$10,000 (you do get PhotoShop for free, however). The other comparable 
product is the BarneyScan, which is also very good. But people who have 
used both seem to prefer the Nikon. Just does 35mm, however, so you have 
to get the Barneyscan if you need to scan larger transparencies.

I don't have a national number for Nikon, but the central regional sales 
manager (Electronic Imaging Department) is Roy Edenson in Dallas. Phone 
(214) 644-4512.
