Depending on what film type, post work can be very time consuming. I have the full Nikon autobellows and slide film copier setup and can make copies as fast as I can spool it up with the fullframe D800 - a few seconds per frame. You can view my scan from taken using Leica IIIF + Elmar 50 f3.5 + Fuji C200, processed at home using nearly expired Cinestill C41 kit. I usually just scan it with the lowest solution 1350dpi (I believe), and use the windows XP via virtual box, the batch utility tool would just scan a row of 6 images without the need to tweak each image. Having said that, if you take care of your negatives carefully, so that it will not result much dust, it is a fantastic machine. The Minolta 5400 has put my interest back to the 35mm format, like most of people say here, the speed is slow, and if you turn on the ICE, feel free to go for a walk, cook a meal and having a bath before checking the results. The lack of auto-focus would often result soft and blurry images. I bought the scanner couple weeks ago, and can show you the first hand comparisons, before that, I have been using Epson V600, the flatbed scanner is really struggling with 35mm, even when I scan it at 3200dpi, details are really poor.
