The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I am satisfied with the purchase.
With its pros.
1. The quality of the scan.
2. Small size.
3. It is possible to expand (for a fee) the software to the professional SilverFast Archiving Suite 8. It turns out the process of scanning to RAW followed by advanced conversion.
Cons:
The lack of infrared removal of dust and scratches is often called a disadvantage, but for example, my films are relatively clean and removing individual dust particles in Photoshop does not bother me.
While scanning takes me about 4 minutes per frame, and on a similar scanner with an infrared channel, scanning a frame with infrared cleaning takes almost half an hour.
