I do not recommend - slide and negative scanner

Yes, it's very easy to use and set up, but that's where the positives end. However, the scanned negatives (and I've tried over 100 with different settings) weren't very good. I know the experts say the best way to archive my photos is so I decided to scan the negatives first. They weren't sharp and didn't meet my simple needs for archiving my photos from the 80's to early 2000's. Nothing difficult to copy. Instead I tried to scan my photos as well - much better than the negatives but still not as sharp; again grainy and not sharp. So I had an idea and tried to shoot the 4x6 prints with my Sony camera which has a good camera. Guess what? The images turned out really well - much better than on a professional scanner. So I downloaded the really good Google Photoscan app and started taking pictures. I got tired and decided to try another scanner - Plustek Photo Scanner z3000, which I wanted to learn as much as possible about. Hope it gets better; I would order Epson but it was 350 more expensive. As there are too many issues with returns - I'm going to mothball this and close it so other people have different needs than me because I don't understand how digital copies were acceptable. Oh yes... I tried the slide copier. This is better than just negatives - the problem is that the scanner is set up so you only get 50% of the slide area. I had to take 2 scans of the slide and stitch them together. Luckily...I don't have a lot of slides. So, read my review and others and you will be able to judge for yourself.

Pros
  • scanner
Cons
  • I'll write later
