A flatbed scanner, regardless of what it's called, whether it has "photo"
in its name or not, whether or not it has an adapter for film, is not going
to equal a good dedicated film scanner in quality.
There are always trade-offs when you make a unit meant to do several
different kinds of jobs, but it seems to me that it should be possible
to make a "photo scanner" *very nearly* as good for film as a dedicated
film scanner provided that you design it mainly with film in mind, but
tweak it a bit so that it will accept other media, too, rather than the
other way around. But I suppose the price of these units indicate that
they have taken the latter approach...
Only you can determine
if any flatbed scanner is "good enough" for your needs.
If you want others to tell you if such a scanner will be acceptable, which
may be difficult to do,
No, the point was not to get other people to tell me what to do, just to
get an estimate of the true value of the "photo" designation. Which may
be hard to give, too...
