But after all was said and done, the results spoke for themselves. Its a shame they didn't build in frame detection somehow, instead of the thing advancing to any value for each shot. That alone wasted a lot of time to get the frame centered. My only real gripe is the time it took to scan 36 images, plus the fact on most frames, I had to readjust the film offset for each shot. I really like the results I get off this scanner, though I did have to add some contrast on many shots of B&W. Seemed like a no brainer getting the Primefilm unit. The Primefilm is available in the USA for $500, which is a really good price, since many old film scanners like the Minolta 5400 go for at least that on Ebay, and those are used scanners. The Plustek doesn't do 10,000 dpi nor does it have auto focus. I chose this scanner over the other new option which is the Plustek 8200. I just got through scanning my first batch roll of 35mm B&W on this scanner.
