I've gotten good results with 120 and 620 negatives using an Epson  
V500 scanner. It is cheap enough, around $200 at discount, so that I  
could justify the purchase for a few dozen rolls of film. After I  
finish with the film it will be suitable for scanning those shoe  
boxes of old prints whose negatives have disappeared into the mists  
of time.
