I like the principle of saving images to the device – I’ve added a memory card for more storage. It avoids the complications of software installation and compatibility issues. It’s easy to transfer the saved images to a PC/Laptop later.
Scanning film negatives is the easiest process as you can feed the film strips into the film holder without removing it from the scanner each time, which makes it a quick process. With slides it’s less easy to feed them through the slide holder. Removing it and removing / reloading a slide is really tedious. (The slide holder only hold one slide at a time.) This really needs to be better designed. Also, the slide holder will not accommodate the thicker plastic slide mounts, so you can’t scan them.
The menu options are good and the scan / save process is easy to use. I don’t use the in-built image correction, preferring to use software on my PC after uploading.
Overall, a decent film / slide scanner, but it does have deficiencies, as noted, which if resolved would make it so much better.
I got this for a good price and it was delivered promptly. A bit fiddly to start with, but once you get the hang of it you can scan quite quickly. I have only used it for 35mm slides so cannot comment on anything else. The machine has the ability to flip to a mirror image as well as to invert the picture. I connected it directly to my PC and it works a dream,. The carrier will not take the thick agfa slides, but handles cardboard and thin plastic-framed slides well
Husband bought as Christmas present, he forgot he’d bought one a few years ago for me, but looks every bit as good. But unfortunately had to return.
Very easy to use and seems to do a great job
Easy to use and has speedy response to the scanning process,it took a few minutes to find out how the slide holders fitted ,and I am very pleased with this as I am able to get a lot of my old photos back to view at my leisure in a better format.
Easy to use and transfer images to SD card. I did find the some of my negatives could not travel through the holder and sometimes got stuck.
Don’t expect perfect picture, it mainly depends of state of your negatives/slides.
Maybe using software you could improve your images to a better standard.
Overall I got the images saved to now that’s all that maters for me.
Used this to transfer a load of slides on to my desktop. It was a bit fiddly at first an you had to transfer the slides one by one. But its a fair product for the price
Fabulous item. I found loads of photos that I previously lost on an old computer as I had thrown away originals but somehow still had negatives. Oh the memories
Fabulous item. Did I say that already? Well it really is.
It’s good. It’s fiddly using negative slides but that’s negative slides for you. Easy to operate. Easy to store away and very good photo quality output. Recommend this if you have loads of old slides to go through.
Cardboard slides and thin plastic slides mostly go through the feeder without issue. Some slides seem to be slightly wider than the slot and so can be hard to push through.
Have many slides mounted in thicker plastic frames, some of which have thin glass on either side of the slide. These slides are about twice the thickness of the cardboard ones and so are too thick to push through. Tried loading the slide into the carrier and then pushing the loaded slide tray into the scanner, but it is still to thick. So have not been able to scan these slides easily. Have scanned a few by disassembling the slide and putting the developed film into the film scanner, but that takes a lond time per slide. Need to experiment further with how to scan these slides.
I am happy with my purchase.
This is a very easy product to use. I scanned slides, which were shot in the early 1960s and they digitised fine. I used the computer to do all the editing. Obviously such images will not match modern digitised photos, and anybody expecting that is just being silly. But being able to show the slides on an iPad or iMac makes this device very useful.
I did some research and ask customers whst they thought of this. It was mixed comments. Well im pleased with it. As good as you would expect from a scanner.
very simple to use and setup with a small profile, b&w is a breeze, colour sometimes needs a bit of tweaking, quality is good and a great speed / simplicity trade off
The item was quickly transferring the slide onto a SD Card, which will be added to the various chapters that the Military Museum I am working with would like for their archives on my life in the RAF.
