If you plan on only doing a few, contact your local photo lab, they can usually scan them for you. If you plan on doing many try a 35mm film scanner. I use a Minolta scan dual IV. Not expensive and works well on 35mm. For my 120mm I use an Epson 3170, this model can scan 35mm also, I wasn't pleased with the quality on 35mm. Between the 2 types of scanners, a dedicated film scanner will give you better results on 35mm.

I use a Minolta Scan Dual III. All the stuff on my B&W film gallery was scanned using it.

One tip. If you get your film processed by a bureau dont let them role the film up when they return it to you because it is fiddly getting curly film into the scanner holder. No problem if you process your own.

The Scan Dual III scans up to 2820dpi giving 13x9inch prints at 300dpi - nice.

Regards.
