With black and white negatives I discovered that 2 negatives from a strip were displaying a band of lines right across the finished photo. This seems to be a particular problem with the plastic mounted Agfa slides cardboard mounted Kodachrome seems to fair better. Quite unaccountably the scanner does not always scan the full frame, often cropping it quite drastically. Scanning a box of 36 slides is a couple of hours work. About 5 or 6 minutes is a typical time for a single slide at high resolution. You can only scan 4 mounted slides at a time, or 2 strips of 6 negatives. Flimsy bits of plastic that don't hold the film or slides very precisely. The scanner is a little sleeker than the 3200 but it is still a large, heavy machine, curiously clumsy in its operation. There is no doubt that it can produce good results and is an improvement on the earlier model, but it is a very slow and erratic process. I was hoping that a new machine, plus new software might produce better results primarily when copying slides and black and white negatives. I bought this to replace my Epson Perfection (lol) 3200.
