Odd little contraption, but it certainly serves my purpose ~ As with any electronic these days, it takes some effort to learn, but once you practice, all good ~ Quite simplistic actually, and just what I needed to get my slides converted to digital an online ~ We use a photo editor on the computer, but really our editor does not improve the image from the unit, as it's already quite pristine

It has such a high resolution that I can crop the photo considerably and still have a fairly sharp image

The view screen is already small and the 8mm viewable image is much smaller than that so forget trying to frame an image on the view screen

Wolverine some for reason produces much better image quality

The image looked warped in spots and out of focus

To make a good digitized image, the slide MUST be held tightly in the tray at the right distance from the lens

For decent quality images, it takes about 30-60s to scan a strip (5-6 photos) of film; whereas with the wolverine it takes 1 second to scan 1 photo

Personally, I get much more satisfaction from viewing and sharing even a less-than-perfect image rather than just staring at a dusty box of slides stuck in a closet somewhere that never get viewed

The scanned images are very noisy.

Good image quality

The simple math says that's about 30hrs of work for one reel which is a small price for a good image quality...if only this were good image quality

But the images look good enough for sharing on Facebook or sending out to have new snapshot-sized prints made

scanned images were too blurred to be useful

I'm an enthusiast photographer with several thousand negative images I need to convert.

Works well, images are very good but not great; do not expect the photos you pull from your negatives to look as good as the originals

Essentially makes the product useless for producing decent image scans.

For the price I paid for this, I expect decent images

I have also tried some color and black and white negatives and was very pleasantly surprised at how well they reproduced positive digital images.

For the first time in about 55 years, I can see what the images from slides really look like.

Very easy to use and the images so far a really good.

But I do appreciate the ability to make adjustments if necessary if the image is particularly bad.

Saves a transparent image as a JPG file, slides and negatives.

It takes only a few seconds per slide to scan and produces reasonably clear and detailed images.

That takes about two seconds, so very little time is required to get some great images

We are returning it because we found it gave us an insufficient file to work with, and it over-contrasted the images (Insufficient slide detail in the shadows).

The effect is small but I prefer completely unprocessed images

But whatever you do with the setup options you always will get murky images with wrong colors.

Raw product is so "raw" that each image takes extensive time and effort to correct even with Photoshop.

In the video, please ignore the focus on the top images because I did not use a tripod and focus is not the point

The resulting digitized images are a lot sharper than those you would from small prints (like 3x5, 4x6) using a scanner - the prints just don't have the full film resolution - even the images it gets from 110 film is better

This thing crops off at least 20% of the usable image (then again that could be because mine wasn't setup for 35mm film at all).Comparison to Flatbed:I have an older Epson V500 that I bought back in 2006 timeframe, so it is almost 10 years old.

Easy to use with a good quality image.

Notes: 1) Take time to brush any dust off the originals - saves a lot of time "cleaning" the image of artifacts afterward.

It's so nice to have a device that will produce better quality images than the original prints that were made

Doing that will produce far better digital images of your slides than this device can.

If you need to convert your old slides to good quality images, do not buy this product, go for a real slide scanner for just a few more dollars.

If you are OK with getting a basic viewable and recognizable image than go for it, otherwise invest more for something that can deliver sharper images.

but there was way too much pixelation, noisy, and not very good image quality.

The quality of image captured by this device is very inferior to that of the scanner so for $79 more I have a much better quality image and all the versatility of a full scanner.

but you'll get a very usable image.

The images are not perfect, but they are generally pretty good.

I transferred them to my computer from the SD card, and ran the files though Adobe Photoshop Elements for a quick crop, image resize, and color enhancement.

I bought it to scan slides and negatives because I believed I could get better quality images from these image sources rather than 6x4 photos for which I use a sheet feed photo scanner

I set up actions in Photoshop and with a single press of a key the images were corrected

Easy to use, sharp images and quick shipment!

All I can say is that if you are needing to produce archive quality, perfect images, then maybe you do need some other device

The features and performance of this device have been well documented (ie you get a good image from your slides and

In any case, this box will create very workable images for decent software to adjust as desired

Here is a wish list if they produce a new version in the future:- come with a descent lens to produce better quality images, even with double price.- have a VGA or other monitor output to preview the image on a large monitor in addition to the stamp size screen for accurate level and color adjustment

Just transferred 105 negatives that were 60 years old to perfect jpeg images.

It's quick, decent quality digital images for the price of the device

I prefer to fine tune the images with my ACDSee Pro 9 software.

I have found that a very effective way to improve the digitized images (especially when they have very high contrast) is to capture the image at 3 exposures (-2, 0, +2) then merge/process them through an HDR program such as Aurora HDR Pro.

My hope was that this would allow me to finally convert hundreds of slides to nice digital images

I would suggest it is best used for archival purposes, but remember, the better the original image, the better the copy.

But surprising it produces good quality images.

I think that after I work with the scans in Photoshop Elements, I will have images that are even better than the original

I received it as a Christmas gift and have since archived over 4,000 slide and 35mm negative images

It captures the image quite clearly, no edge problems, user friendly.

Beautiful results, very crisp images

This is a basic item without too many ways to correct the image.

varying cardboard thicknesses require an extra nudge to pass through the channel, but overall the F2D Super delivers a very good digital image quality given the decades old technology sources.

I was not too impressed with the quality and it definitely does not look like 20MP.The scanned imaged are not as sharp as I would expect and there are a lot of specs and other artifacts on them that are not from the negative since they are on all the scanned images

The converted images are not bad - but I mmust say that my ollder Canon still does a better job

Good quality image and nicely stored on the sd card.

I also like the ability to lighten or darken images, as I have taken both kinds over the years and they are usually the most important pictures

Well, the device is virtually useless, the images it renders are so poor that there is no way to use them in presentations or anything that requires and image size greater than 2x3 inches

On the down side, quality is lost significantly as image is enlarged.

It was money well spent, this machine actually creates decent resolution images.

Well, the device is virtually useless, the images it renders are so poor that there is no way to use them in presentations or anything that requires and image size greater than 2x3 inches

The slides that were clear and taken with good lighting produced an incredible digital image.

If you try to capture too soon it will capture a very dark image.

Failure to do so leads to severely blurred images.

The scans produce sharp images from my negatives and slides that are about

The colors were perfect and images very sharp

It did a tremendous job -- the digital images came out terrific, and for some older negatives, I was able to use the adjustments to compensate for degradation of the negatives

I had hoped that the 20MP resolution of the unit would produce a high-enough quality image for me to work with.

Very poor image quality and color translation, no consistency between scans, remedial editing tools that border on useless.

If you care, then you will have to clean images in specialized software, which makes the process slow

Even with multiple attempts, the adjustments do not work well, and the resulting digital images look lousy, even after adjustments via Photoshop.

Scanning your negatives and slides with the Wolverine is "wonderfully fast & images are sharp".

At 5x7 the image shows up as sharp and without noise which leads to the conclusion that this "scanner" takes photos then upsizes them to achieve it's claimed 20MP size

The color on older slides cannot be adjusted as well as I liked

’s 20 slides).Make sure there aren’t any particles or specks of dust or lint inside of the machine and on the scanning lens as well as on your slides or they will show up on every slide scanned

It really works as it says it does!!

The first one I tried was not great and reinforced my concern but decided to keep on going as I had hundreds of slides, so after a few I saw some were as clear as if they had been taken today with a digital camera.

The images produced by the Wolverine were every bit as good as those turned out by the Nikon

I could have used my SanDisk 8GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card, Frustration-Free Packaging- SDSDB-008G-AFFP memory card, but figured I would use the faster version instead
