This scanner handles 35mm film at 2400 dpi. The machine claims it can do better but I think 2400 is the theoretical limit for flatbed scanners before aliasing becomes a problem. I bought this thinking I wouldn't want to scan medium format but now I have a V600. (Same results for 35mm BTW. Comes with box.) It comes with the appropriate film holder. Also, I'm not sure where the white holder so this scanner would be best for photos.
