It is worth no more than the $99 it is selling for.
For film it is a poor scanner. At 1800 DPI it is the very low end of
resolution for 35 mm film.

You can buy current flatbed scanners with Transparency adapter for the same
amount of money that does a better job than the PrimeFilm 1800 on 35 mm
film. Flatbed scanners are not a good choice for scanning 35 mm film. If you
really wanted a good scanner for 35 mm film look at better models of
dedicated film scanners.

Save up for a Minolta Dual Scan IV. Check newegg.com for a decent price
from a reputable vendor.
