I scanned over 600 black and white negatives with this V350. As I had stored my negative views by band of 6, he had only to insert them into the autoloader and wait. 1 minute to get a glimpse (if you uncheck the unwanted pictures). Then 1 minute per view (or 6 minutes) for the full scan. Between each shot, the spring band is then automatically re-inserted. I wonder if in the software, it could not have avoided the numerous untimely O? But is it perhaps a function of re-positioning? So be patient! Fortunately, the machine is silent. The result is perfect or at least in line with what I expected. Some small photo retouching with software adapted to refine if the need is felt voila. Value: tip-top!
