About 2 to 3 minutes for a 36-exposure roll of unmounted 35mm film on a copy stand (one reported workflow, Negative Lab Pro interview)

Key components: macro lens (1:1 reproduction or better), copy stand or rail, even LED light source (Raleno, Kaiser Slimlite, etc.), film holder (Essential Film Holder, Negative Supply, Valoi, or DIY). The interviewee in the cited source scans 35mm with a 24MP full-frame camera; more resolution helps with medium format. Look for used macro lenses - vintage options work well.
