currently i use a light table, a negative holder from an enlarger, and DSLR with macro lens.
before that, i had a Minolta film/slide scanner - but they've gotten out of that game about a decade ago, and looks like Nikon also no longer does their film scanners either
Plustek 8100 seems to be well-reviewed among the current options... but if you have thousands, i'd probably recommend having a service take care of it like slowpoke said.
i shoot very little film anymore so it's not too time-consuming to rattle off DSLR scans of a couple rolls of 120 film myself. i worked with a pro photographer about 15 years ago converting his 35mm archives to digital, most of a summer shooting a several dozen rolls a day on his copy stand and Nikon DSLR...
