I got a CanonScan 8600F and thought I could get great results. Results are ok, but not great. Most of the pics in my photo stream are lab scanned. When I leave the film for processing at the lab they do low res scan to great results. Here is a comparison I did of a lab scan versus my CanonScan 8600F. Might not be a huge difference, but you notice, the lab scanner delivers more "bite" in the photo

As far as I know the lab I have my film developed use standard chems like D76 and TMAX developer. I actuallu bought special Rollie slow speed devoloper from Germany when buying the films (
