I believe that if you want to scan film and do a great job, get a film scanner. I have not seen top-quality scans from a flatbed with an adapter.
There are alot of good scanners. For reviews of film scanners, go here.
I use an older Nikon LS-30 at home, have run over 3000 slides thru it with no trouble. It's SCSI only though.
You may want to look at the Nikon Coolscan IV, a consumer version of the LS-4000. The only problem I see is the inability to do multi-pass scanning, a lack that my LS-30 shares. I get around this by using VueScan from Hamrick Software.
The Cooscan IV currently is selling for about $600, but evidently has a $200 mail-in rebate from Nikon; I'd check the terms of the rebate, but if true this is a great deal.
edit - I need to learn how to type.
