Bought to scan NASA presentation slides from Boeing. Also have the film
inserts to hold film as the software will autodetect.
Just looked and they are probably 200 to 300 bucks. Way better than the
300 bucks. But if it what you have better than nothing. I'd rather
archive at a higher resolution now days. In the day 300dpi would have
been pretty large to handle, but photo quality is doable with larger
systems that are available now days.

I have an ancient 300dpi UMAX scanner out in
the garage, useless for most things, EXCEPT, it has a full size transparency adapter and I
could use it to scan 8x10 sheet film.
I'd consider scanning sheet film at 300
dpi a waste of effort. You'll surely get much better results scanning them wet on a
modern, high dpi flatbed.
