Love Model Railroading, especially BN & MRL. Have been in the hobby since early 1970 s, Currently thinning my collection a bit, eyes are weaker and hands aren t as steady as they used to be. Will always strive to have 100% positive feedback on Ebay.
35mm Slide and Negative Scanner | Convert Your Old Photos to Digital JPG Format
Feb 20, 2016
DID THE TRICK
After reading many reviews, I found this one did every thing that I wanted it to do without expending a significant amount of cash..
I ran several hundred slides through it, many dating back to the 1950's and 1960's. Due to their age, many were in less than pristine condition, but the unit did give me satisfactory results. I found the stack feeder to be far more useful and efficient as opposed to using the other slide feeder which took far more time to use.
I did not use the negative copying feature, so I cannot rate this part of the machine.
Transferring the JPEG files created by the copier was a breeze. I did not utilize the installed editing features, preferring to use the photo editing program on my computer instead.
If you are interested in saving those old slides for not too much money, I would recommend a unit like this. If you expect professional results, I would recommend a top of the line unit for several hundred dollars or be selective, sending only the most precious slides to a professional for copying. The copies are only going to be as good as the originals. If you have old faded slides, please don't expect photos that look like they were shot yesterday by a hi res digital camera. This unit is designed to save old photos to JPEG format before they fade away forever.
I felt I received a good value for my money, saving hundreds of old photos and dollars in the process.
