>>4067224Dedicated scanners are by far the best option. Any models that have survived this long are likely to keep working. Coolscans and such are hella expensive, but there's one brand that is still cheap, the software still works, and the models from > 2002 have USB: Minolta. I first had a Scan Dual IV, and now have an Scan Elite . A friend got a Scan Dual III. They're slightly quirky machines, but the scan quality is excellent, my SE'll do 42mp (although the true optical resolution probably lies at 30mp though - still, it's fucking great, and it''ll outresolve any film on the market today.)
You can get a Scan Dual II, III or IV for < $100/€100, and it'll give you 4500x3000 scans, with and they're fully automatic - select all the frames, click scan, and then stand up and go make a coffee or something, when you come back they'll all be done. I don't know why people buy Plusteks, you have to babysit those machines to scan at any speed.
>>4066106There are non-Leica German M39 35mm lenses that are good, some are tiny. Look up the Rodenstock-Heligon, for example.
