Should you purchase this scanner, please spend some time familiarizing yourself with the software and features.  There is a lot to learn, but with a little time and effort, the process becomes very intuitive.  Note for example, that autofocus only works properly when you 'preselect' the type of film.  Trying to focus on a color slide when the software is set for 'grayscale negative' will produce less than optimal images ... This auction includes the scanner itself with power cord, 3 holders for 35mm slide, 35mm film, and medium-format film, 4 installation CDs (Windows and Mac), 2 IEEE 1394 firewire cables for both standard and mini ports, and two "light blocker" strips for use when filling only one side of the 35mm holder.  Reference manuals are in .pdf format on the CDs. NOTE:  The IEEE 1394 PC interface card shipped with the original package IS NOT included.  YOU WILL NEED an available Firewire port on your computer in order to use this scanner!! Please email me with any questions before purchase -- I will only accept a return in the event of damage during transit. Place a Bid!
