I've used one (microtek E6), for slides and negs.
600dpi across a 35mm frame does not make for a very high resolution
image.
If you can deal with that, it's not so bad. I lay out a dozen mounted
slides on the bed and scan them at 600 or 1200 dpi. Sharpness is not
great, but colour and contrast control are fairly good.
With unmounted frames, you have to mask the edges to prevent
"bleeding".
All in all, I'd hock my grandmother for a proper negative scanner.
Flatbeds are exasperating.
