Its a good scanner, little bit noisey at 4000dpi. Scans slides okay with the canon software, but much better with Vuescan. Never tried any velvia, which would be the reas test.
Its useless with Kodachromes for some reason. A 4000dpi file is about 60meg uncompress TIF. If your in a high speed link i can put a compressed tiff file up for you to download.
