Product Description
This digital film scanner from Thumbs Up can take 35mm slides or negatives and easily convert them into modern digital image files.Does anyone remember what we used to do before we had digital cameras? The whole big hassle of loading film, and getting it developed, and having to wait days for it to be developed? Well, film and slides were around for a long time before digital cameras so there are loads of people out there with some amazing pictures that arenOt getting the showing they deserve. Perfect for anyone with older relatives who have family photos they want to share in a modern way, professional photographers who grew up with film but now want to put their best work online, or archivists who have film collections that are decaying due to the ravages of time. This handy gadget can bring old film and slides right up to date by scanning them at high resolutions and then converting them to jpegs, or a range of other useful digital formats.

Slide scanner March 18, 2008
52 out of 52 found this review helpful
I have a large number of slides dating from the early 70s. I bought this scanner to convert them to digital, to store and view them on a computer. The same scanner is also sold under other names: Luminex and Zennox.
The operation is indeed quick and simple but the quality of the scanned pictures leaves a lot to be desired. Despite their age my slides are in good condition. When seen through a slide viewer the colours are as bright and true as ever and the focus is sharp. However, the scanned images all appear fuzzy and have lost their depth of colour. In particular the reds have all but disappeared and everything has a blueish tinge. OK, I can use the image editing software to increase the red, but this of course affects the whole shot. The end result is nowhere near as good as the originals.
If I'm doing anything wrong, I'd be pleased to hear your suggestions. As it is, I plan to use this scanner just to back up and catalogue my slide collection. I will then select from this my favourite ones to get professionally scanned.
