Hi Luis,

I'm sorry to tell you that this scanner is not best one for scanning 
35mm slides. But it should give you reasonable quality and all the 
slides should scan in total.
Most people(like myself) only scan MF on the flatbed scanner because 
they give good quality for a very low price.
35mm is mostly scanned with dedicated scanners. The cheapest(eur 350) is 
the Minolta dual 4 which already gives much better quality than the 
flatbeds.


Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
