Rating : - Great for 35mm Slide Preservation
I bought this scanner from Amazon exactly one year ago this month when it was only $159.99 so I suppose that all these excellent reviews have pumped up the price. My sole purpose for this scanner was to scan thousands of 35mm slides from the last 30-something years and this scanner has done the job well.Now I can view my new digitized collection and make wonderful PowerPoint presentations. This is a very good scanner if you're looking for a way to preserve your 35mm slides. Highly recommend... even at a higher price.
