I have started this project, and the light box has helped me. I purchased this product to help me organize 30 years of negatives so that I might put them into the computer. I am pleased with the product.
The only box is the shipping box that is not convenient to close.I purchased a 5X loupe and white, cotton gloves to go with the light box. I was going blind trying to hold the negs up to the light. In spite of this, it's a godsend. It would also be nice if it came in a box more suitable for storage. I'm transferring 30 years worth of family photos from shoe boxes into archival quality envelopes and boxes and am using the light box to match negatives to prints which became separated over the years. Thought it might be too large but, in fact, it is too small to display a full 35 print set of 35mm negatives. It's also nice to have a light box around to do tracing.When I removed it from the box there was something loose inside the metal case but it doesn't seem to be anything important.
My thought is that it wil be much faster than trying to scan, simply insert slide and shoot, then use programs on my computer to enhance them etc.Thanks Kerry Summers I want a light source; that will let me shoot pictures digitally, from old slides. I was a little skeptical when I first purchased this product. Why did I buy it. I think this product will do a great job, the illumination is fantastic as I have tried it with slides that I have.So now I will create the cover to insert the slides in, and the experiment will begin.
Information provided was accurate and the product arrived in excellent condition.
My only complaint is that it looked like it might have been displayed or gently used. The light box arrived in a timely fashion and was just what I needed for the chore I had in mind, reviewing old negatives. It had some scratches and imperfections that have nothing to do with the way it performs.
