I had ordered my negative slide scanner in order finally to be able to resolve my old negative collection. Therefore I can only judge the scanning negatives so far. For my purpose, the unit was perfectly adequate. I wanted to see my old negatives (1991 to 2006 approximately 3,500 pieces), sort out unimportant and botched pictures and bring the rest into a digital format. On a particularly high quality of the pictures I have here first placed no value. Who needs super good scans of fantastic imagery to it should find another unit or a specialized vendor. However, I agree with others: You should, before complaining about the quality of a scan, only assess the quality of their images. Where the original light and sharpness are missing, as you can even when scanning expect a super sharp, bright image. However, I could see the slight blue tint, to describe some evaluators observe. The portion of the images I've moved (the digital and the real) not after scanning in the trash, I have some with an image editing program afterwards (gimp: va auto white balance or above level). Other reviews have already sufficiently discussed the technical details. On the subject of negatives I would note the following: The grid consists of a lower part and an upper flap. In the grid view window (6) are separated by small webs. If the grid inserted into the scanner, it snaps easily into these 6 predetermined positions so that precisely the centered window is visible in the monitor. The webs are thus right and left out of sight. In order to fix the negative strip has the lower part of the grid small prongs that hook into the perforations of the negative strip. Is the negative fixed in the lower part, the lid is closed and pushed in the grid in the scanner. Now it is so that at least in my strip the perforations often so moved were to the tick of the grid, that just is not the small unexposed strips that separate the images are properly aligned with the webs, but the images laterally from window away (did not matter anyway, I turned the strip). If you scan so, lacking the right or left part of the image and instead has the web on the image. You can solve the problem by the strip just loosely positioned on the base such that it is correct on the Sichtfensterns and then fixed to the upper part. That was not difficult, and so the scanning also works - it's but a star deduction.
