I got a scanner with a slide adapter, and having tried a few slides, the quality was rather poor. There was one I used at work, and once I worked out how to (mis)align the lid so the transparancy and scanning bars were both aligned, it gave OK results. I reckon that if you want a good quality scan, you may need to try a few scanners before you find one that works for you.
The alternative is to use a proper slide scanner. We have one at work here, which is unused, and unlikely to be used in the near future as its owner has now left. You and it could perhaps be brought together, but I'd have to check if there's still a computer that'll drive it....
As for cost of professional scanning, I remember when I got this done 7 years ago, it cost a lot of cash - a few pounds per slide. No idea of current costs 'though.
