Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Wolverine Titan 8-in-1 High Resolution Film to Digital Converter with 4.3" Screen and HDMI Output - Blue by Joe Jordan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as easy or as good as hoped

My first impression is that it's not as easy to use as advertised and the scan results aren't as good as I'd hoped. I am still evaluating the product but may return it. I bought it mainly to digitize APS and the 35mm negatives I have from various trips. The attached images show the results of my first test scans. With the standard settings, the scans were very dark with poor color reproduction - mostly with a bluish cast. With some fiddling with the settings, I was able to get an acceptable scan, but still not what I think are correct colors. I could probably fix this with some color correction, but I was really hoping to avoid a post-scan cleanup. Other changes in the settings can also help. You can't change the default settings, but at least they keep the same settings for future scans. Both 35mm and APS scans crop the edges of the negatives. The film guide used for APS fits very, very badly. There is significant play - maybe up to ยผ inch, which is a lot given the size of the negative. The 35mm guide was better but still had some play. The screen image and the saved image do not match. The default scan looked pretty good on screen, but as you can see the saved scan was much darker. The instructions say it supports SD card max problem. However, after seeing the size of the files (5-6MB each) buying a 128GB card was overkill. I also wish it had a scan to computer option instead of a scan to SD card. The mini-USB port is pretty dated at this point, but not a big deal since the cable is included. The user interface could be a bit clearer. I've aborted several scans when I thought I was going to start one.
