I bought it online. I've scanned a gazillion photos and almost as many slides. Trouble is... I've got more slides to scan, but I've lost the momentum and I think I forgot how. Still, I love having all our family pictures now at my computer fingertips.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-48372623536222816112014-09-17T11:42:47.919-06:002014-09-17T11:42:47.919-06:00I've had very good results with several thousa...I've had very good results with several thousand so far.

I like it very much and feel it does a good job. I scan paper contracts, photos, and even actual flowers. It was not cheap and I think you get what you pay for.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-34026304064039605802014-09-11T19:56:23.749-06:002014-09-11T19:56:23.749-06:00We had minus 5 last night so covered or not it was...We had minus 5 last night so covered or not it was a killing frost.

It is a little stand-alone scanner for just slides, although it will do a couple of other negative sizes, too. It DOES NOT require a computer to be connected to work, it is self contained and is VERY simple to use. It records the images on an SD card that you use to load the images on your computer. <br /><br />It was less than $100 USD, and if you have a lot of slides to scan, it works a lot quicker than a scanner. <br /><br />Their web site is: www.wolverinedata.comKCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068194796728187685noreply@blogger.com
