 I have one. It worked OK, but not great. I shot a few rolls of
 slide film with it and mounted them. The outdoor shots look
 pretty good. Indoors with the flash the shots look grainy to
 me. I used 400 film like they recommend. I wouldn't exactly
 call it sturdy. My flash doesn't work any more. I didn't bang
 it around and only shot three or four rolls. I've had a roll of
 200 asa Scala b/w slide film (I love this stuff, BTW) half
 way shot sitting in it for a few months. And though I've shot
 many rolls with my Kodak Stereo since then, I don't seem to
 want to touch the Image Tech. I guess I'm mad at it for
 breaking so quickly. If I had it to do over again I think it
 would be worth going for the one that costs $89 instead.
 Maybe it's sturdier. >>

I have the Image Technology Trio - about $89??? (I got it in London) and it's
flash only lasted a couple of films!

I really must take it back to the Widescreen Centre...
