For the "this is crazy expensive" crowd: this competes with the Pakon F135 - an ancient lab scanner that involves booting up Windows XP, finding old drivers on a CD, etc

This sounds excellent to me, personally.





No, this competes with a lightsource, some stand and a macro lens+DSLR/M. It's a good price if don't have the later ones. But chances are high that you do if you are into photography.

How long does a roll take you to scan that way?

5-10 minutes depending on equipment/skill. You "lose" most of the time if your strip is cut into stripes of 4-6 images, otherwise you can do it in 2 minutes.

Why are you getting downvoted? You’re absolutely right. My mind instantly went to “I would have bought this instead of the F135+ in a heartbeat”

Folks who've never scanned film in bulk, I guess
