+1 to Jetrell Fo's comment. Getting a 35mm print scanned is not exactly cheap or straightforward. You are looking at the cost of purchasing or renting the print (note if you rent it you need permission to scan it from the owner, and most people are not willing to have their prints scanned), you need to have it shipped to your scanner, you then need to have it cleaned and possibly repaired and scanned. Typical scanning cost at 2-4k from a commercial outlet is around $20-30 a minute (and they won't scan a print you don't have rights to). You also need HDD's to store the scanned files on. All up a single scan could cost you around $5,000 or so. You then need someone with expertise to clean-up your scan (or do it yourself if you have the expertise).
