Ismael, I use a German Plustek Opticfilm 7200 35mm film scanner. It is about the shape and length of a loaf of bread. Has a slot in the side for film tray insertion. Works quite well at 2300-3500 dpi, but you can forget the claimed 7200 dpi. I use Vuescan. It is far easier and more user-friendly that Silverfast.
I believe they are under $500. Mine is rather old. There are newer models available. I'm writing this on my laptop and will post a scan from the Plustek when I get back home to my desktop.

Someone referred me to Pentax Forums.com from another site. I was unaware of it, despite the fact that I've been using Pentax cameras since 1967. I started with an H1a, then an H3v, and then it's been Spotmatics exclusively until recently when I bought a K20D. I still use film more than digital; I like developing and printing, find it less tiresome than staring at a computer screen full of photoshop until my eyes give out. A few weeks ago a friend gave me her KM with the M series 50/2. I had been a die-hard screwmount guy until then, but I've been doing reading since about the K-mount film cameras and decided to buy an MX body, due mainly to its smaller size.
Hope I made the right choice with the MX. Anyway, pleased to have found this site, and greetings to you all.

I'm new to the forum and so this is my first post. I went to the "Cameras" section to peruse it and found no listing of screwmount bodies. Are they listed somewhere else, or have they simply been swept into the dustbin of history?
