Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $80.00 from eBay

Summary:

This scanner is capable of good results for the low cost, but depending on your operating system you may have problems (I have). On my laptop with Windows 98, it works perfectly for the most part. On my desktop with XP, it works occasionally if at all. Last night while scanning some 6x7 negatives, they were coming out with yellowish lines across them. This was the first time that has happened in the 8 months I've had this scanner, so it may be a one-time thing or something I did wrong, but I was not happy.

Strengths:

Low price Okay results with 120 film

Weaknesses:

Driver/software issues Poor results with 35mm negatives

Customer Service:

Haven't used it yet
