   Overall, it does a good job of scanning/digitizing. It is easy to use. The price is good.

   Unfortunately, it is hard to keep clean. Old slides mounted in cardboard frames tend to shed lint-like stuff from their edges. It quickly collects on the mirror below your media (slide or film negative). The mirror reflects light up through your media during scanning, so any dust on it makes a shadow in the scanned image. The only access to the mirror is through the slot (see photo) where you insert the carrier for the slide/film. Kodak provides a dust wand to clean the mirror, but I found it to be inadequate. I found that I could wrap a microfiber cloth (the kind for wiping eyeglasses) around the wand and that way could clean the mirror effectively. Clean plastic-framed slides or film negative strips are less of a problem.

   It is a simple tool very easy to use once you get going. I own Nikon and HP scanners and I can get very bogged down in adjusting each photo. This is a tool that says get the negatives into a electronic format, and then use other tools if you want to do adjustments. It is very fast and easy to use once you get going.
   I also love it’s stand alone OS. No waiting to Microsoft, Apple, or Google OS’s to screw around with.

    I thought it was going to be slow and frustrating to digitize my old pics, but it was actually easy and fast with this small device 🙂
    It has a great value/price ratio.

    It is a great product. The documentation does not explain how to clean the lens properly, but it can be cleaned and the results after scanning are great for the price.

    This device is wonderful! I have over 500 old negatives that I have been able to view. I chose which ones I want to put on the SD card and I can now print them or just know they are safely stored.

    I bought this item for a future project, so have not had a chance to work with it yet.

    This is a fine device if you’re planning to use it purely to view and digitize old negatives, but don’t plan on getting quality images with it. I got this to use for processing and digitally editing my negatives without having to spend hours in the darkroom. For one, the dimensions are much narrower than the width of each 35mm exposure, meaning the left and right edges of your photos will be cut off. Second, the device itself attempts color reversal but the colors are very off. I tried to adjust this using RGB curves in photoshop but it’s much too time-consuming and difficult to get it close to the original. I’d typically reverse and color-correct my negatives in post with regular flatbed scanners, so I tried scanning negatives using the slide film setting and it still doesn’t stay very true to the original colors. Additionally, I shoot mainly in black and white and always scan in color to try to bring out more details, but both the black and white and color settings on this strip the midtones from my b&w negatives, leaving them very contrasted and flat looking. I decided to purchase this after reading about how it’s a real alternative to scanning rows of negatives at 4800-6400 DPI and being left with gigabyte-sized files, but the highest resolution option is still pretty low and the photos do not hold up when blown up to 10×8″ size. I was hoping this could be used as a cheaper alternative to a flatbed scanner, but sadly I’ll probably be returning it.

    I’ve attached a few unedited scans compared to my original prints to exemplify this.

    Is very small and fits in the palm of my hand. I haven’t set up yet, but instructions seem very clear and hopefully is as simple as they seem.

    I bought this hoping my 92 year old friend could use it to convert her slides, however, it was just too complex for her so I returned it.
    Seemed like a good product though for someone who’s a little more tech savy.
