I have used the Sony UY-S77 scanner. I think it has now been upgraded to a
UY-S90. Anyhow, it takes uncut 35mm film up to 50 frames. About $7,500 I
used it on a PC but I'm told they also make the software for a MAC.
It's interesting to watch it run. It auto aligns and "inhales" a roll of 36
in about one minute and displays low resolution thumbnails. You can
individually modify brightness and contrast and select all or only a few to
scan to high resolution. When you press the scan button it fast forwards to
the first selected image and starts the high res. scan. Scanning a full roll
of 36 takes about 10 minutes but it is all unattended. When it is done you
have 36 sequentially numbered BMP's or JPG's. I can't remember if it does
Tiff's.
It will take Color or B&W, Neg. or Pos.
3 resolutions. I think they were 750 dpi, 1500, or 3000. My estimate of
timing was for 1500 lines in color.
This is the same unit that the Photo chain "Ritz Camera" uses to scan images
to CD's for customers.
I don't know why Sony doesn't advertise the unit. It is even difficult to
find it on their web site.
It is still a little pricey but you couldn't do anywhere near the amount of
work with a manual machine without a lobotomy.

I second that request. I have uncut rolls of color negative materials can
must remain in roll form. One option is to send them out to have Kodak
PhotoCD disks made. Depending upon the number of rolls, that may end up
being cheaper then buying a scanner -- especially when considering the
amount of time that must be dedicated to scanning those rolls.
