If your slides and films are only 35 mm, then a Minolta Scan Dual IV is a
good choice.

213.25 + 5.50 shipping = $218.75 today. (Newegg prices change all the time).

If you have different sizes of film and photos or documents, then a flatbed
with transparency adapter would be a better choice.

Flatbed scanners do not do 35 mm film as well as a film scanner.

Wow. That is a great price and New Egg is usually very reliable.
