I had about 5,000 slides and 5,000 negatives taken between 1960 and 1998 I started 2010 on a scanner Plustek 7600 lent; after 6 months I had done that in 1500 (= 1 single slide scan per minute) and have made the scanner. Good quality of the images obtained. I then scanned the beginning of 2011 on a Reflecta Image box, which was scanning photos ... theoretically because it was not working. I had to send him back to Germany and after return, impossible to put it into action. After 5 mail and 2 phone calls (in English because the German local service does not speak French), I could scanner on a Windows XP PC. Quality scans: For photos, this is not at all wonderful; for slides and negatives is acceptable. But again, this was not the infernal rates (= 2 single scan slides per minute). I abandoned the work after 400 views. A photo specialist advised me to take a PRO ION FILM 2SD. I ordered Friday, December 21; I received it Monday, 24 December in my shoe. Hat AMAZON !!! Price: 99 Scan result: - Ability to scan slides, negatives color and B & W negative - Regarding the pace is ideal. It scans a view in 5 seconds. The longest is to sort, prepare and properly classify on his PC. I made about 4000 in less than 30 hours (including unloading PC, filing, creation of well-documented cases ...) - Quality: one saving family memories. There is no picture of art. For all views, you lose qq millimeters of vision. A 24x36 22x32 becomes. The vision of the scanner screen is small (= 6.5 cm diagonal), but it still has a surface = twice that of a slide The quality obtained is much lower than that of a Flatbed scanner from HD ... which takes 10 times longer. Quality is also lower than the 7600 Plustk used. It is better than Relecta Imagebox. - Commissioning is immediate: no complex software to be loaded on a PC (an hour to a good specialist for Plustek; 3 months for the Relecta Imagebox !!!). No computer connection, so no question to ask about compatibility with your PC or Mac. A 2GB SD card is included with the device that collects jpg immages. - To load the slides, there is a basket of 15 slides about who manipulates by a zipper as viewers "of yesteryear" - For negative films, they are passed into a slot and the frame easily on the scanner display - The quality of the views obtained is acceptable as a PC screen 21 "to 50 cm as viewed on a TV screen viewed from 1m to 3m. - A note: the professional scanning is expensive and detached not relieve the tri then the ranking on his PC. Counting 400 per thousand views
In short, it is the ideal formula for those who want to revive his memories once photographed. This does not satisfy the lover of art photographs that will use a more sophisticated way. But beware, it may quickly become discouraged and give up his working memory. For less than 100, please. Good scan and relive with pleasure your memories.
