you can pick up an Epson 4180 for $100.00 +/- that will do an excellent 
job of scanning a medium format negative. I picked my hasselblad up for 
575.00 a couple of months ago complete with lens,back, flash bracket and 
lens hood. I find it hard to put down. I have a rolli 2.8 that produces 
as good as or better photos. The hassy is just a more versatile platform 
than a rolli. I also find it easier to use and focus.
