The unit was purchased as a second scanner to use in addition to the film scanner for slides (Plustek 7600i) a device for large quantities of negative strips can. First shake of the head after unpacking: The fragile negative holder adjoins an outrage. Second impression during sample scanning with 2400 dpi: Overlooking sharpness and noise light years away from the film scanner. Then by chance (! Scrolling in the ScanGear window required), the optional setting "High Quality" discovered - and the scanner then hardly recognized. Very color fidelity, low noise, better sharpness at only slightly longer scan time. Then tentatively slides scanned with an unexpectedly good result with respect to the density. Dust and scratch removal with FARE works better than all other methods tested so far from me. When 50 year old and completely glued on glass slides the numerous enstandenen between film and glass plate due to chemical reaction spots were reliably detected and removed the first time. Less reliable results when using VueScan. Total: Especially in post-processing with Photoshop can be achieved with proper configuration for a flatbed scanner remarkably good results.
