I don't know if the Scan Multi can >handle switchable voltages] The U.S. version of the scanner doesn't have switchable AC voltage but I've found in many cases that European versions of electronic products do have switchable voltage een when their U.S. counterparts don't. Best contact the seller. I have one and am very happy with it. Built like a tank. Scans 35mm at 2820 dpi and MF at 1125 dpi. This gives about a 14 megabyte file from a 645 at 24-bit color and 25 megabytes in 48-bit color. MF scans scale up beautifully with Genuine Fractals so I can get excellent 12 x 16 prints. For prints up to this approximate size, I don't need any more resolution than this scanner offers. Due to this and the build quality of the unit, they rarely seem to turn up on the second hand market. If anyone wants information about this scanner, just contact me. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
