Bought to scan old slides, films and photographs. Digital ICE often helps, but also adds artifacts (Without this feature, it scans an order of magnitude faster). Periodically, the work of Digital ICE on old photos is not noticeable at all. Delivered from USA in 2022. With the shipment and purchase of a 220V power supply (I had to tinker), it cost 10 thousand. (a year later in 2022 it was more expensive, not to mention the price after the devaluation). In general, the device is very worthy, although of course I would like to see better software. Since I didn’t particularly notice the sense of the infrared scanning mode, it’s not a fact that I would buy such an expensive scanner for photos and slides again.
