I still have an expensive Canon dedicated slide/film scanner from 20 years ago.

IIRC at some point their value started going up as they became rare.

Mine did something like 50MP scans of 35mm film/slides. The quality was more than enough.

But it was painfully slow.

This thing is not 100x faster, so I think it's still painfully slow. If it takes 5 minutes to do a roll of 24 that still means someone with hundreds of rolls needs to have a lot of time on their hands.

Not sure I can actually figure out software to get my old one to work FWIW, but I don't think I care to deal with it, I have a big enough mess dealing with the ~200k digital photos that are already on disk.

This and Vuescan. I once lost the license file, wrote to the author and got a new one.
