Customer Review: Excellent idea, poor execution
Summary: 1 Stars
Installation and setup was a breeze. Then first disappointment: the scanner produced nothing. A series of color dashes and dots for negative scan, a dark rectangle for positive scan. I've tried to pull and push the cables, buttons, and when I was about to pack it up, I've noticed a good picture on my computer screen. Without specific reason it started running all right and I was able to get about entire 35 mm film scanned. Since it became late in the night, I closed the scanning business for the night, enjoying perspective of laborious weekend. It was really laborious, since the scanner started again same way as in first day, but never returned to the proper working mode. So, no more scans. Now, pack it up into the original package and send it back.
I don't know if it was a single case of bad piece of hardware, since other users are enchanted with this item. But beware.
