Moose,
You might consider the path that I took when we decided to digitize my late
father-in-law's negatives, from 120 through split 5x7 portrait negatives. I
bought an early Epson Perfection 2450 scanner off of the auction site. As I
recall, it was around $100. I still have a long way to go to finish the
job, but the results are not bad at all. As an added benefit, the scanner
turns my computer into a copier and fax machine as a bonus.
As an example, here is the link to a shot by an unknown photographer with
unknown equipment, from the San Diego area around 1926.
