If you can still find one, Minolta made a Dimage Scan Multi Pro that scans up to 6x9. Nikon still makes the 9000, which also scans 6x9. Hasselblad sells two or three scanners that scan 10cm x 25cm. All of these run $2000 and up. Epson just released two scanners: the Perfection 4990 and 4990 Pro which have been getting very good reviews. They will scan transparencies up to 8"x10" and run $450 and $550, respectively. The only reported downside on the Epsons are the scan times. They're take a good bit longer to scan a neg than a dedicated film scanner, but the quality is supposedly just as good.
