There may be scanners that deliver better results. I had two others that were not so good. But the spell one knows: "In the past not everything was better" when it has to do with Eletronik, anyway. Here impressed the very simple quick operation. Disadvantage: The screen is too small and has the wrong (fixed!) Tilt angle. But that does not fall so much weight, because the device can be connected to the AV input of the TV. As you can see then relaxed and great live, what you are doing. Extremely simple to the support I had sipped the rail for guiding the negatives. Here it becomes clear how good it is, if one of a manufacturer based in Germany buys: A call, an email, two days later, the negative leadership was in my mailbox. Now I will transfer 5 euros, weighed against the benefits to me more of a symbolic amount, I'm happy. There are probably Profesional scanner to hundred times the price, can digitize old negatives associated with better quality software. To capture my archive of thousands of negatives 40 years in the first place again, this device is but just right. Extremely valuable photos can thereby be identified and then, if necessary, covered by a service provider again optimally.
