It won't always make sense, but it may do. 

I have a film scanner for 35mm film, but I also have a few old 6x6 negatives 
(when cheap machines used 120 film) that I want to scan. Nothing ultra 
special, just an honest computer copy. 

I have looked at the "real" large format film scanners and unfortunately I 
cannot afford one. So the alternative is getting a cheap flatbed capable with 
a "photo" adaptor.
