[0.27 lb] Provides much better quality files that scanners costing 8X as much.

[0.27 lb] This product is fantastic and at a fraction of the Nikon Version, i can't complain when quality overpass the cost!!!

[0.27 lb] The switch is great and works well with the 4x5 light source, but should have been included when purchasing the light.

[0.27 lb] I discovered a large box of slides that I inherited from my father, going as far back as 1951! The results of the first few test slides are astonishing in the clarity of their reproduction! It'll take me some time to get through them all, but a very efficient and good quality way to preserve these for the foreseeable future.

[0.27 lb] So much easier than having to plug and unplug the light source. Easy to connect and works really well.

[0.27 lb] This is a fairly simple setup for negative scanning that works extremely well, at least for me. Although I've only scanned about ten negatives, so far, it is easy to see that the system works well. The digitized version of the negatives came out great.

I read a fair amount about this system before I bought it, and for the money I thought no matter what I was going to try it. There are various ways of scanning negatives, but I don't think it gets much simpler or more solid than this.

But there are some things to consider, one of them is that a good macro lens is recommended. For my setup I used a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and an R7. A full frame camera is probably a good idea too, and this coming winter I'll use a full frame and will be scanning a lot of negatives. For my first trial though, this thing was easy to set up and worked 100%.

One caveat, some people say that it cuts off the top or bottom of the negative, but if you set it up right it will do the whole negative without a problem. I had zero problems on my first try, and understood if there was such a problem I would just have to align the system correctly.

Here's an instagram from BHP that explains another way of scanning but it's still the same basic idea, this Vello system is probably easier, hope this link works. https://tinyurl.com/mpnmbx2s

[0.27 lb] This 35 mm slide holder works great with the Negative Supply Light Source 35.


It fits perfectly and it is easy to slide the 35 mm slides through it.

[0.27 lb] Looked for this product for a long time! Good description of what macro lenses it fits to. Parts are sturdy. The slide and negative mounts click into place precisely. LED is bright, no hot-spots. Product works as promised.
Recommend mounting camera on sturdiest possible tripod to make the operations comfortable.

Anything more? B and H might wish to link to articles about using common software (Lightroom and Photoshop) to color-correct ancient slides that have turned a reddish brown, and other such aging effects. That detail is not always easy to find with a web-search.

[0.27 lb] Using this with my Canon 90D and Canon 100mm macro lens. I shoot the slide in RAW and process in Lightroom - results are significantly better than what I got from my pricey Canon flatbed scanner, so much so that I will redo previous work. It was easy to assemble and put to immediate use. I'm really pleased with this purchase.
