Oh the nostalgia!

I got as a gift for my husband and he loves it. He had boxes of old slides and negatives the wanted to digitalize, and this has worked very well. He says it's easy to use, and oh the nostalgia he's had seeing old family pics from the 60's again!

Perfect for my needs

I think they discontinued this 4 in 1 model in favor of a 7 in 1 model, however since I only do slides and an occasional small negative, this fully suits my needs at a lower cost. This is a replacement for a similar Jumbl, and is superior to it in the respect that the window angle is perfect for viewing whereas the Jumbl had to be tilted up in order to get a proper view. It also has a superior slide holder, which makes quickly feeding slides a simple process. I can scan 100 slides in a little over 10 minutes. The scanning with this scanner is the easy part of the total process --- in most cases I like to run the files through an editing program to optimize them for viewing by my customers, and that takes a bit longer per slide than the scanning. I just completed a 1500 slide order and I'm delighted with this scanner.

Happy husband!

My husband had several bags of slides from his mission trips in Europe and Israel from when he was younger. We wanted to have the slides transferred to photos, but weren't sure which ones to have printed. There were over 2,000 slides so the cost to send them off to another company would be astrological. I was able to transfer all of the slides to a SD card and surprise my husband for Christmas. This way he gets to pick out the slides he wants to have printed/enlarged and he also get to see all of the slides. It took several hours to upload this many slides, but it was worth it!!

I first bought the Yellow wolverine, but it had a defect in the lens and had to return it - a painless and efficient process. To replace it I bought the green Wolverine with a higher resolution. It was worth the extra amount for this converter. It performs wonderfully. I have converted hundreds of 35mm slides thus far with many, many more to do,. after a few conversions, i learned what settings to use for the various color corrections and use the same settings for all the slides. Older slides (mine are 50 year old) tend to develop a dark blue hue and sometimes a red hue. The Wolverine does a very good job of managing the color. However, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 to process the final restoration on my computer and the result is almost original quality digital copies of my old slides. It is light weight, easy to use, and a 4GB SDHC provides plenty of slide storage for transferring the slides to my hard drive without overloading my tactile sensors. I recommend this device without hesitation.

Product works very well - Very happy.

I've now scanned over 1,000 negatives and it's still working great. You do however need a software to complete the job. I use Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager to do the following 3 things after scanning. 1. Rotate the image if necessary. 2. Auto color correct image. (This is critical) 3. Mirror the image back to original because it's easy to put negatives in upside down. I've also used this product to scan the old negatives from the 1950's. The large ones about 3 inches by 3 inches. It does NOT have a template for them but I'm able to stick them in without the template. They do, of course, get cropped down a bit but I do capture most of the negative and they look great.

Really Gets the Job Done

This product delivered what it purported do. It is easy to use. I had over 2,000 slides to convert and I was satisfied with the results and quality of the digital images. I would recommend the purchase of the longer slide holder if you have a lot of slides. Also, I would recommend that you periodically clean the lease in Zonoz because it has a tendency to get dusty. Great unit at a great price . You can purchase this product and know that it will do what it advertises to do. I had a hard time deciding on which product to buy based on the reviews, but I'm happy that I selected the Zonoz. I did not receive any promotion from the company. I paid full price and was happy with what I bought.

Provide the exact service I needed

I wanted to create jpegs from negatives and this does exactly that lightning fast. Like other reviewers, you don't need a media card. I have this powered through the usb cable and am able to save up to 45 photos on the device before easily transferring them to a folder on my laptop. I can go through negative strips very quickly because it's so easy to adjust if I feed the strip upside down - just a quick press of a button to flip top to bottom or side to side. I haven't needed to use the color correction as I'm not that concerned with the quality, just the memories the photos bring back. My friends and family are enjoying the shares! I'm excited to share this with my parents as they have slides. The price is worth it because it's instant gratification, I've transferred over 100 already, and super easy to do in the comfort of my own home. If I wanted to upgrade the quality of the photos that's easily done with photo editing software. The ONLY complaint would be that I have to create a new folder for each group of photos transfer because when I start over the file name starts at one again and I wouldn't want to override the first batch when adding more folders to the existing transfer folder I created. I recommend to everyone looking to create jpegs from negatives.

A "Super" converter.

I have only used this to digitize color slides and it does a great job of digitizing, even those slides that are 50 years old, provided that they have been stored properly. In some cases, color slides will need an exposure correction, available in the F2D. In some cases, the exposure range from light to dark can exceed the F2D's ability to reproduce but by capturing multiple images using plus, minus, and normal exposure in the F2D, then combining the images in 3rd party software (such as Photomatix Pro) the exposure range can be recovered avoiding most of the blown highlights and muddy shadows. Unfortunately, it doesn't fully accommodate the larger square purchased slides so you will need to decide if you want to crop these to a landscape or portrait orientation. It is fast (2-3 seconds per slide) and easy to use. It takes a bit longer if you need to stop to compensate for slides that weren't exposed correctly or the color tint has changed over time. These images were taken in 1964 and digitized last month with the F2D

The Wolverine is the easiest film to digital converter to use than others I've tried ...

I've used several film to digital film converters and the Wolverine is the easiest brand to work with. I've used them in several different ways from uploading my digital information into my computer to the easiest (and most preferable) SD card. These digital converters aren't intuitive to operate, but once you get the hang of it they are easy to work with. I've actually had a great deal of fun enjoying looking at old slides. I've then taken my SD card to Costco to get prints. One other option is to upload them to the Costco site and pick them up next time you go. We have piles of slides , but also have some film. One of the most interesting project I've done is to take old discarded film, the stuff relegated to a box in our barn, and scan it. It was like Bringing long gone people back to life as we watched them on the screen. I'm assuming that most people would want to convert slides, but the Wolverine has the ability to do microfiche if you so desire. One possible misconception is that this will convert your old 8mm movie film to to DVD, but this is not the intent of the Wolverine. You could snag a single, but if you want this sort of capability, you should take a pass. I'll just briefly describe the 135 mm slide to digital process using an SD card so you'll get the idea. If you are interested in the others, the capability is in the Wolverine and the manual instructions are clear. I encountered a couple of snags and I'll mention them first. It would be wise to make sure your SD card is working. I went through a tray of slides only to discover I had a faulty one. Secondly, make sure you make sure you use one 32 GB or less. I tried a 64 just to check this out and it doesn't work. There is another thing to take note of. Some of the slides I have from the 1950s and 1960s vary in thickness and types of material. For example, I had some plastic and also some with very thick cardboard frames. There's no need to force feed these into the slide adapter because you can do them manually. I found this necessary with a few, but it isn't hard to open up the adapter, put in the slide, and feed it into the Wolverine. It didn't interrupt the process at all. CONVERTING SLIDES TO DIGITAL USING AN SD CARD: I may be a bit spotty here and there in my directions, but these are just the basics so you can get an idea. I'm not going to tell you how to plug the unit into the wall because that's a given. All extraneous material will be omitted, but you can find it in the manual, which is quite good. 1. Slide your SD card into the back. Make sure that you have the gold contacts facing up. Push until you hear it click. 2. You'll then see a screen which will. Ask you your film type. You can toggle to the different type. I toggled to film and clicked OK. 4. Next I had to select the film type. There was color negative, movie positive, black & white, and slide positive. I wanted slide and once I toggled to it I once again pressed OK. 5. The next screen wanted to know my film size. There were several selections, but I needed 135mm. I selected that and pressed OK. 6. I took the cleaning brush, inserted into the side and swiped back and forth a few times to make sure there was no dirt or dust inside. 7. I selected the Slide Adapter and and inserted it into the right-hand side of the Wolverine. 8. I loaded one slide in, then another right behind it. The second one goes right to the edge of the adapter. You then can see the first slide on your screen. Once you are moving along, there's no need to remove this adapter as the slides come out of the left-hand side as you load from the right. 9. To scan the slide shown on the screen, simply press the Convert / Mode button. Then press the OK button to save. 10. Then the progress wheel stops spinning on the screen, you'll know you've scanned the slide. It's time to load another one. Working like this I was quickly able to scan a whole tray of slides. I'm not saying that they slide easily, because some didn't. I did have to push some rather hard to keep them moving. I would hit the Convert / Mode button, hit OK, and by the time I checked my next slide it was time for the next one. The Wolverine has some great properties and is well worth the money if you have piles of slides to convert (we do). Forget the 8mm film and have that done elsewhere. Once you are done you can upload those images to your computer or head over to Costco, Walmart, or other store with film capability to use their machines. You can make your selections there and if need be, ask for assistance. The Wolverine is some easy to use and the most user-friendly film to digital converter I've used.
