The Epson 2450 is a great scanner.  I have had mine a couple of months 
and I love it.  The scan quality is fine for me, it does prints, 35mm 
film, slides, medium format, and even large format (4X5).  It has USB 
and FireWire - I use the FireWire myself and it is a screamer (fast, 
that is).  The software is great - even on Windows it does not crash 
(believe it or not!). VueScan  even works with it.

If ou only need 35mm film / slide scanning, it is probably better to get 
something else, but the 2450 is like a jack-knife - it does it all very 
well. And it is cheap.  How many FireWire scanners can you name for $340 
USD?

Here is a link to the best price:

Here is an example 35mm scan (M6 / 50 Cron, 100 VS):

And here is a 6X6 negative scan (Rollei 6008 on Fuji NPS):

Finally, another 35mm slide scan (R4 70-210 f4, 100S):
