Review on 135 Slide Film Scanner: Convert Negative, Slide, and Film to Digital Photos | MAC & Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 Compatible by Giles Lacoste

My old slide collection hasn't been viewed in years as I lost my old viewer long ago and projectors are expensive. It doesn't make a copy as detailed as a dedicated scanner, but if you're looking for decent digital versions of your old negatives and slides then it does a great job. As far as I know, it's not technically a scanner. Rather, it is a camera that takes a picture of your negative or slide and saves the result in JPEG format. The old foil gets stuck when using the manual stack loader, but this is an easy fix. The software quickly loads the slide image onto the screen (I was using my Windows 7 Ultimate laptop) and that's it; stored and available to you for as long as you wish. The surprise was the number of photos I had completely forgotten, some were taken more than 50 years ago and showed close relatives who had died in the intervening years. It was wonderful.
