I scan with a Konica Minolta elite 5400 and vuescan. I do decide after prescans if i'm going to do a full scan. Scanning negatives is really a tedious task and for me it takes a lot of the fun out of photographing with film. Often i wonder why i still shoot 35mm film and not just buy a sony a7 or a 6x7 medium format camera.

A question to the people using a 35mm scanner - given it takes a while to scan a single frame, how do you proof your negs prior to scanning? Do you use a loupe and a lightbox, or ask the developer to do a contact sheet?
I'm debating whether to buy a scanner (and a printer, FWIW) and I like the 35mm ones for compactness and resolution, but I don't want to spend hours and hours scanning... So trying to figure out a workflow.
