Good product, haven't used it much as yet due to rearrangement of computer equipment. It can be used with uncut roll film including microfilm. Some scanners require cut strips of film and some can handle a roll at a time or several slides. An expensive film scanner usually allows more control for pictures with extreme contrast such as mountain in bright sunlight as a background to people in shaded foreground. High quality slide scans are very large files that show every fleck of dust. For computerized scrapbooks, I usually save pictures at 480 pixels high and print in sets using 2x2 layout. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kay Hampshire" > Hi - has anyone tried this hardware for scanning slides/film? > A friend of mine is thinking of buying this to scan some slides that are > 30+ years old.
