Althought I think it is completely ridiculas to have to write all of this for ebay, after I already rated this 4 stars! Ebay makes this way too time consuming. What better than a five star rating, unless yuo're lonely and need to type to someone? It's good stuff... That's enough!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this scanner some years ago. I have never had any problem with it. It scans well and as a bonus it also scans slides plus negatives. I have been very happy with this unit. I have used it a lot for scanning slides. The only cons are it's slow scanning speed and it's rather quirky software. But for the price you are getting more than your monies worth.

I have had this scanner for a little over a year. It has never made good copies/scans from a negative. I often have to rescan things. The software has now completey failed and I have to use a microsoft product to get it to work, and most of the time the scanner will not come on. It is very tempremental. I often have to jiggle cords and unplug things and mess around for an hour just to scan something.

I've had this scanner for a couple years now and I like it a lot. It was given to me as a present from a friend. There are many things that this scanner does right, but it doesn't do some stuff properly.
It does have a film slot to scan negatives in, but it doesn't scan them properly. Mine always come out looking too bright, and I try to adjust it in my program but it never works quite right. I wish this worked, but I can live without it.
