Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had great hopes for this scanner. I have guarded the integrity of my 35 mm negatives for years. Knowing technology existed to scan and convert negatives to digital, I wanted to convert my own rather than pay a company who might possibly lose them. My intent after digitalizing was (and is) to put them through Photoshop to correct imperfections and print 8x10 copies. After submitting questions regarding whether it was possible with this scanner, it seemed likely. Also, knowing that 22-megapixel digital jpegs should print a 16X24” photo without a problem, this scanner looked like it would do the job. After carefully reading and following all the directions for setting up and scanning, I scanned a few good negatives. Not only were the results extremely grainy, but the actual print size was no larger than 1.417 inches by .945 inches. And the negative adapter scratched the portion of the negative that was outside of the viewing frame. Consequently after the entire negative was put through the adapter, the whole strip was scratched. Thankfully I did not experiment with my best negatives. And thankfully, Amazon has a good return policy.
