Hi Bruce,
I haven't had any problems with my 2450, but I have read of someone
who found that the lens on their 2450 was not focussed to the correct
distance. I think they had to pack pieces of thin card (or thick paper)
under the holders and slides to get the distance right. If that was the
problem with yours then sending it back was the best course of action.
I guess the tolerances on the 2450 just aren't up to the same standard as a
dedicated film scanner. Still, what you pay for is what you get.
