I use and also recommend an Epson 4990 or newer (V700). They give very acceptable results with LF especially if you scan broadly for the most info and not for a contrasty "final" result. I use almost exclusively Vuescan for all my scanning too. That will mean initially a very gray and flat looking scan but that's what you want so you can work basic levels and curves to add some nice contrast and even work "burning/dodging" in locally for sharpness or details as desired without overly breaking up the histogram of tones.

Another option is a LeafScan 45 (and I have one of those too) though you generally need an older computer to accommodate it's dated SCSI hook ups, it's quite
Large and bulky, and it is LOUD when running, amongst other workflow quirks...
