You could just buy a decent scanner and do your own. I have an Acer
Scanwit, 2720s scans at 2700 DPI, (9mp images from a 35mm frame), and
does a better than adequate job. It cost ~$300 when it was new. You
can probably get a much higher specified scanner on the used market for
less these days.

You've just discovered a big reason why people thought Digital was
superior to film... Even before it was. Wet prints from good negatives
always were better than scanned prints from those same negatives, at
consumer prices. Good scanning is costly.
Some years ago I checked drum scanning prices in one of the professional labs
in Tel Aviv. It is $25 per single frame and they warn you that the film may get
scratched in the process...
It sound like what I'll need to do is get a 645D, a close up lens, a suitable
negative mount and light source, then do HDR multiple exposure to extract the
full range of tonality from the negatives, then write a filter that'll
relinearize the non-linear response of film, to get the full dynamic range.
