I think this scanner should work like a charm with 35mm copies but they're not going to tell: "Now you can finally scan all your 35mm theatrical copies for a reasonable price" on their site since it's not completely legal to own one. That was the goal of my initial post.

All I did was quote poita and he said that the scanner won't work for old negatives or for prints and that it is only suited to newly shot material. In any case it doesn't matter since he, team -1 and others have their own film scanners that are much higher quality and that renders this scanner useless at least for preservationists (it might be useful for other uses though).

You're wrong about the legality - at the very least the studios own the prints, and many DVD and BD releases are mastered from prints and not negatives so I would think that given the target consumer they would want to advertise the full potential of their scanner.
