### ⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***S on 17 May 2025*

It is unnecessary to order film and slide holders separately. They come as part of the overall bundle. AND the power pin supplied is incompatible with the Australian standard and it is necessary to purchase an adaptor. Yet to set up the unit. Have just purchased the adaptor.
