I have been using one for ~5 years now. Stick the film in, click scan, and 
go away for 1 1/2 hours. What can be simpler than that? It cost quite a bit 
of money though for pretty much a plastic shell with not much to it. I 
think I paid ~$350. Sometimes the scanning software loses frame, but most 
of the time, either NS or Vuescan does a good job if the 1 st frame preview 
looks good.
