I have used my 8800 for slides and, as has been said, the quality is good,
but soft. The slide adaptor allows you to do 4 slides in one hit, and takes
approximately 2 mins per slide, depending on the DPI setting. It is very
quick with prints. I've also done B&W film negatives and they are a bit
quicker than slides.
