of 24 I think.

That is super cheap, 200 negatives for $67. Maybe not the best but you
won't find cheaper or easier if those numbers are right. It would be
very tedious work to scan yourself.

I just scanned 410 slides on the Nikon CoolScan... took about 3 days.
Negatives are fussier to do than slides (at least the way I do them)
-- will take more time.

Scanning negs at full resolution with ICE on takes about 8 minutes per photo
on my Nikon CoolScan.

So, if you have fifty 36 exposure films that's 1800 photos. Or 240 hours of
scanning (and that's without any post processing, key-wording, etc).
