Excellent device, especially at the price

I have been taking photographs for almost 50 years and have many boxes full of prints with cut films and slides. I used to develop my own film and slides and spend far too many hours in the darkroom, burning and dodging my way to the elusive "perfect print". My wife gave me Photoshop for Christmas for a year and I've happily transitioned into the digital world. I've been away from active filming (30+ videos a month) and active digital filming (a few thousand pics a month) for a while now and I just shoot for fun, not for commercial purposes. However, I have all the old slides and films. So I bought this scanner to capture it digitally. I am very happy with the device. I'm really amazed that a device that costs less than a hundred dollars can scan and store images from even my oldest film and slides with minimal effort. me two button presses and maybe 5-7 seconds of my time. Even at a fairly decent hourly rate (my office time is typically billed at $50 an hour), the resulting cost for a slide image is on the order of $0.10 to $0.14, including unpacking, scanning, repackaging, and the like . I could get close with an automated service and not have to give up my prized images to have someone else scan them. Point. I would buy another in a heartbeat if this one is lost or died for any reason. It can't get much better.

Pros
  • , understandable even with the old ones
Cons
  • -
