I have been scanning 120 format B&W and color negs on an Epson V700 scanner. The B&W ones are easy, and the results are great. It takes time, of course, and can be fiddly, but it is not hard.
Scanning color negs is more of a challenge, because one has to pay attention to color, and with old negs, that is a subject unto itself. With the necessary diddling, I have had excellent results with 30 and 40 year old negs.
Still, I have taken note of the scanning service mentioned by chez, because I have around 500 rolls of 35mm and 120 color negs to go. The problem with sending them out is that I might only need 1 in 10 negs scanned, because the other 9 are worthless, and I don't see an easy way to have a scanning service do only the important negs....Show more →
Have you looked at film scanners? It didn't seem that hard at the time, I have a Minolta dimage, which isn't recent at all, but should be good enough for seeing what have, at the very least. Might be able to send 120 out, and do 35mm at home. I think 120 scanners cost a lot more.
I think there was an OS update that didn't like the scanner, so I haven't used it. Need to get it going again.
It is kind of slow, but you could probably do a roll in 15-30 minutes or so, maybe faster, once you got it set up.
