I've been really happy with it, but it's hard to say if it would be right for you without knowing more about your proposed workflow. It doesn't permit batch-scanning of a whole roll, for example (only 12 exp at a time in 35mm). I've used it mostly on BW so far. Some examples are here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/Vietnam These were scanned at 1200 dpi, which took about 1 min. per frame. The scanner takes film up to 6x9 cm. and of course is also a flatbed so it scans print images as well as film.
