My film scanner takes slides or 35mm film strips (in lengths of up to 6), or up to 6x9 medium format.If you only do 35mm, you can get a much cheaper scanner.
Your slide scanner may or may not also do film.
The biggest questions for film scanners are:
Resolution: For 35mm 2500 dpi is minimum but most do that.
Bit depth: 16 bits with at least a 12 bit ADC is minimum for decent work.
OD (optical density): at least 4.6 Mine does 4.2 and that isn't good enough for K25.But your slide scanner, if you have one, may do what you want.
