honestly can't remember the model, looks like a black brick and you feed in through the side using their frame. the number 8000 comes to mind (it wasnt for price, it was under $1k but not sure, probably been ten years since i bought it.
Make sure it has the frames to suit your needs. Possible downside could be the frames dont pinch negatives so if they are curled the dont get flattened. But the lighting is flat so no gradients in the scan (I can say that on this forum and it'll be understood!). I've only used for negative 35mm film strips, pretty sure it'll do slides too but the slides I have should be covered by the negs already and its a long long term project to scan a shoebox crammed full of negs. I started with a microtek flatbed but that died and i got the plustek and redid the strips i'd already done to compare and preferred the plustek. The IT8 targets are great, scans come out looking the same as the source. its easy to leave an auto white balance setting on and ruin it, but for me I wanted to scans to be archival representations flaws and all, then process them digitally myself. Good luck, I dont know if mine has an auto feeder, I dont think so, but scans would take an hour each for the resolution depth and number of passes. Scan time will be universally long on any scanner, fast ones used to have scanline errors so I dont mind the wait for a good result. Hardest part has been trying to organise the scans later on.
Edit: its a OpticFilm 7500i AI that i have
