Summary:
This scanner for the most part has done very well for my 120 film scanning. It scans film and slides very well, although I did notice some noise in shadow areas in a few slides that were very contrasty, with very bright highlights and very dark shadows, but the midtones were okay. These same scenes were also shot with film (I am talking about Velvia and Reala), as I was testing 2 identical cameras.

Unfortunately couldn't place it where I originally intended because USB cable is only 1.8m long. But it looks like a standard A to B cable so I think I can replace this.
Is not as thin as many scanners, but that is due to the required light for scanning films. ...
