I bought it separately for over $500. The more I use it, the more I appreciate what it can do. I still can't batch scan with it because you have to buy additional software for $200 more to batch scan, but for critical scans, I use it all the time. I mount all of my film in 35mm slide mounts to scan it. You can use the film strip adapter to scan two to six frames on a 35mm strip. That might do the 24x65. There is also an adapter to scan IX240 film which I believe is the APS type film. Hope this helps! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
