The scanner is wonderful - small, powerful, reasonable price. ViewScan is... OK. ViewScan's greatest advantage over the default software is that it seems to handle greater contrast more smoothly (when using the multiple passes). This works great for my b&w stuff in particular. A caveat: for maximum quality scans with ViewScan, be prepared to wait half an hour or more for the scan to finish. Personally, I use it only for when I want to digitally alter a shot that I intend to have printed at a lab, typically to 8x10 or more. Otherwise, I can't be bothered, and will just use the default software. Is it worth $40 for that? For me, yes. Maybe not for everyone. You should be very happy with the scanner, however.

I am going to be using it on a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II (USB). It claims to enable single pass multiple scans on the Minolta models which do not support it.
