SNIP Eric, What intrigues me about the Scanmaker 5 is the fact that it does not have a transparency adapter for a flatbed but in fact has two stages: a flat-bed reflective scanner on top and a second stage that is specifically a film scanner. While I agree that it will not equal a drum scanner I'm looking for feedback on its capabilities and limitations from anyone who may have experience with it.
