Cons: Transparency scans lack detail; scans were a bit dark and had a slight blue cast.

Review summary: flatbed scanner with clever 35mm film adapter

Verdict: A stylish and affordable scanner with the unusual bonus of an automatic 35mm film loader built into the versatile lid, yet it's sadly let down by slow acting software and long scanning times.
