For 35mm you need a proper film scanner. For med fo, it should be fine - but you don't get ICE I think unless the 9800 is a major step forward. ICE is essential IMO to avoid literally hours of cleaning spots/scratches etc. I also find that flatbeds are not so good at getting the right colouring as film scanners which can be difficult enough. I have a couple of negs and a couple of slides which I just CANNOT get right using my Epson 1640 flatbed no matter what I try!
