About 13 seconds to startup the software (Nikon software), 23 seconds for a preview, and about 55 seconds for the final scan at a size of 5x7 inches and 200dpi; is slow to me. Granted this is an older powermac 180 with not enough RAM. There is no batch scanning, it's one at a time. :P Oh, and I go through about 3-5 of those film strip holders a year. Yes, I have used it for b&w as well. It performs well. The only major gripe that I have (besides how slow it is) is that I have to apply unsharp mask to just about everything, even negs that are visibly razor sharp. I've convinced the paper to buy me a Kodak 3600, the only reason that I want the Kodak is because it will batch scan up to 36 frames of 35mm; I'm in heaven just thinking about how much time that will save me after a big game or event. *drools* Good luck!
