short:
if you want to rob a bank, buy the Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 ED Film
Scanner --> http://www.filmscanner.info/en/NikonSuperCoolscan9000ED.html.
its primarly a mid-format scanner but also can do 16mm.
But by hand you could do it with a dslr camera + good lense like a good
makro almost 1:1. Its enough like 8mm has 1150 lines and the most dslr
cameras use 3000-3500 lines! Always do RAW and i can recommend silverfast
dcpro as a software which does hardware color-proof correction, but costs
some bucks, there arent cracked ones around...
its about a quarter of the full-frame with an good makro, with 16 its just
the equivalent - you even can try a extension tube to magnify, so it might
catch all the information. Use a stand and a light table or a nice
professional glasscreen. Another crazy lens is the Canon MP-E 65mm 1:2.8
1-5x a makro-lupe lens you can magnify 5times!
also there is some freeware software for scanning 8mm on a flattable
frame-by-frame, i cant find it right now.
