Frank, I have a Canon 8400F. It comes with 35mm strip, 35mm slide and medium format carriers. I've had decent luck scanning print film. I wouldn't recommend it for slides. A little photochopping has been required for everything scanned thus far. Knowing now the cons of using a flatbed scanner for film, I would really like a dedicated film scanner. For the money, though, it's not bad.
