Make sure you have the plastic film holders! I a lso have a Microtec flatbed/film scanner that cost $650.00 back in 1998, and this one compares with the Microtec, but runs on a USB connection rather than the SCSI connection. Most scanners in this lower price-range use reflected light to scan slides and negs, which results in terrible scans. However, the new one scans film and transparencies utilizing a light head in the cover, which is the correct way to do it. The old scanner is an 8½"x14" flatbed and this one is 8½"x11". This scanner replaced an HP scanner I bought in 1995, and the only reason I replaced it is because my new computer won't accept the SCSI card to run that scanner, running Win-Vista Premier 64-bit. The only reason I gave it a 'GOOD' rating rather than an 'Excellent' one, is that the slide and film holders are really quite flimsy, and I have looked to buy a replacement for the and can't find them anywhere, even on the Epson website!
