Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had to return this item. The seller shipped fast and was helpful on the return. The quality of the product was poor in three ways. 1. A single negative is placed into a frame, or a strip of negatives is pushed through a frame. Each of the two frames are made out of two pieces of clear plastic. Think of the frame like a 35 MM slide frame, but with solid clear plastic over both surfaces of the film. It sandwiches the film between its two pieces. It acts to hold, guide and/or flatten the film for scanning. That frame should be made of glass instead of plastic. The plastic scatches easily (and may have even been scratched when I received it). A simple manufacture change to glass would have caused me to make do with the product. 2. There is a thumb wheel to pull the film strip into the unit. It turns a single cogged sprocket. The single sprocket easily misaligns the film. Having two sprockets would have resolved the problem. I found it easier ti use my thumb and fingers to insert and manipulate the film position. 3. I found the scanned image to be too bright. I scanned the same image on a flatbed scanner using the film print and ended up with a much higher quality digital image than with the negative scanner, even though the print scan was a much smaller digital file. A simply brightness dial would resolve this issue.
