AFAIK both the Acer/Benq's are pretty good VFM but poor with colour neg,
because they don't increase G & B channel exposure to cancel the orange
mask, they simply subtract it in software. So OK for slide and B&W, but
definitely below par on colour neg.

There are quite a lot of cheap filmscanners around, both s/h (eg eBay) and
new (eg http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/)
