By Peter This scanner is a reasonably good value and does a reasonably good job. If you have tried scanning prints with a flatbed scanner, you will be happier with the results you get scanning negatives with the PrimeFilm. A couple of caveats: first, this scanner is not fast. One roll of film a day is probably as much as you'll have patience for. Second, the scanned image quality is only as good as your negatives, and your old negatives are probably more fragile than you expected. Plan to spend a fair amount of time cleaning up blemishes in PhotoShop, and, frankly, if you used a cheap camera in the first place, don't even bother; you'll do just as well scanning the prints (and a decent flatbed scanner is a lot cheaper). One last thing: if you want to save some money, go buy this scanner at C-O-S-T-C-O-D-O-T-C-O-M. 9 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Junk! By FourDees This scanner is a piece of junk. Support tech was good at first, responding quickly by email when I had trouble with the basic operation of the unit. After scanning several slides and coming up with hideous colors, I finally simply asked them if this was a case of "you get what you pay for"--from that point on dead silence. This scanner has two colors--dark and red. An extremely well-lit slide scans very dark and quite red. Out of 61 slides that I have scanned so far, only two came up basically true to their colors. If you take the time to try to tweek the colors for each slide, the colors still stink! I am very sorry I bought this. If there was less than a one-star rating, that would be my choice. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Does the Job but... By D. Hoffman This scanner does a reasonable job on slides or negatives that are properly lighted. It can not handle slides on the dark side. I did several hundred slides with it and it does take alot of time. I eventually switched to an on-line service which does a fabulous job for 30 cents per slide. If you don't want to pay others to do it, this scanner will handle most slides. See all 5 customer reviews...
