Review on Magnasonic All-In-One Film and Slide Scanner by Paul Abs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Backlight color uneven

Overall a good device for the price, easy to use and with very high digital resolution. Unfortunately, my scanner had a problem with the background light: it is greenish on the left and reddish on the right. In this regard, it was impossible to find the right color balance for the entire image. The claim that 8mm film can be digitized looks like a joke - there's no optical zoom to accommodate the smaller size of the 8mm frame, so the scan resolution is the same as for 35mm film remains and the size of the frame is 4.8 x 3. 5mm compared to 36 x 24mm.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
