Is this UK only? Wonder if it's the same price in Maplin here.

I think I have this model which I picked up for around 15 quid. It does the job and for the price its pretty decent but don't expect great results especially if you blow it up, for example there is no way to focus when your taking a picture of the negative, I don't think you can adjust the amount of light coming out of the LED's and I am sure there is other problems that I can;t remember. That said it works fine for pictures for Facebook and its handy if you still use film occasionally to just pay for development run them through the scanner and if your like myself just get proper large prints of the 6 or 7 photo's that are worth it in a roll.

how do you mean it's "on the list" - I can only see UK stores when I search availability? Thanks.

Nice BA! However it seems I can't book one any more - seems they are nearly all gone, & only available in certain stores. Feck. Best wait till they are back I guess.
