Beginner Reflecta X66

[Barney]

Hello people,

I am thinking of pulling the trigger on this scanner.

Not particularly good, equivalent to V600 or there abouts.

My thought process is that I can get a good look at the negative and anything that I am particularly fond of can get a print/ bigger scan.

What are likely pitfalls and am I wasting my time?

I've no experience of it personally, but it seems to get a decent review here:

The main downside (for me) is its effective scanning resolution of 1800ppi, but this may not be an issue depending on your requirements.

Hello Nige,

that's the review that I ended up on after looking at flatbed scanners.
