    This scanner comes with outdated software! Without it, the results are poor. The software update cost an additional $100.00! Comment (1) Read more

    When working with negatives use some common sense and wash your hands. I have found using a freshly cleaned microfiber cloth is great for wiping all the dust off of everything: negatives, negative holder, glass plate on scanner, and the light in the scanner lid.

    Directions could be easier for newbies who don't understand all the language. Otherwise am very happy with the scanner. Read more

    Great scanning quality with both film and documents/photos. Scanning speed is significantly faster with documents than with film, but both are acceptable. My main problem is with the software bundled and the fact that you need to search to enable 48bit scanning, which to be honest would be one of the key features of a scanner at this price. But that is just extraneous detail - in general the machine is well built and performs extremely well. Read more

    Scanner is bundled with a variety of photo editing software. I had difficulty deciding which one was the best for me to use and didn''t have time to learn them all. I settled on Adobe Photoshop Elements---so far so good. Read more
