An Epson 4490 flatbed ($109 refurbished from epson.com) is also a better solution. With the addition of 1-2 35mm ANR inserts from betterscanning.com it makes a cheap but quite acceptable 35mm scanning solution (Without the inserts get ready for newton-rings or film curvature problems). As a bonus, it does 120/220 as well.
