You can actually scan MF. I just bought an Epson 2450 flatbed scanner for
exactly that purpose. It has 2400 dpi resolution and sufficient dynamic range
at least for B&W negatives. The price is in the $500 range over here. From a
price/performance standpoint this has to be the best solution for scanning MF
right now. It may not equal the Nikon 8000 but then again, it is 1/10 the
price.

Now the problem is that I need to upgrade my computer to handle those huge
files in Photoshop...
