Yes, she can do 50 slides a time and load the feeder may be 5 times a day,
then she gets 250 slides a day. I can do 180 slides an hour, after two hours
I finish 360 slides and can go anywhere I wanted :-)

If you feel it is good enough then it is ok. My eyes are not that reliable,
I will try to use the known good equipment I have. I won't trust non

I have no problem with flash fire besides me, I don't have to look at it,
just watch the image come out from the monitor.

That's a good news, I think the software will becoming better, I'm not in
hurry.
