Have you used it for strips of film? I had one last year for a little while, and had focusing problems when using the film strip feeder. I wasn't able to get consistent focus across the image, ie the edges would be in focus and the center blurry. Not to mention the fact that trying to scan a 36-exposure roll implies having the film bunch up at both ends of the scanner, since it has nowhere to go. Unless you have a very long and clean table, you're bound to have dust problems. I thought about solutions involving a couple of rollers on either side, or maybe helium baloons tied to each end of the film, but decided to just send the thing back to Adorama and get a Polaroid SS4000 instead. I thought the RFS3600 had severe design problems, and a pretty immature software. The price difference to the Polaroid was well worth it. j - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
