Jook,
I am also very interested in scanning long negs.  I have been corresponding with
 Eric Fulmer at Professional Graphics Systems & Services Inc. and he has
been very helpful: eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At this time I am close to deciding on an 1200 x 2000 flat bed. My needs are
only to make small (5 x 24) inkjet prints so I don't need pre-press quality
resolution. I had some negs scanned and have posted the results at my keva
web site below.

Lookaround Cameras are more fun.
