Photomyne A4 Slide Viewer | Light Pad Backlight | Negative Viewer | Film Negatives & Old Slides Scanning Light Box | Hands-Free Ultra-Thin Ultimate Brightness (Includes USB Adapter) - Black

Works great for my 35mm negatives no visible bright spots or low spots either. Overall pretty solid

I am so pleased with how easy it is to use Photomyne A4 Slide Viewer • Light Pad Backlight • Negative Viewer • Film Negatives & Old Slides Scanning Light Box. I was able to scan old slides that are decades old. Highly recommend.

Easy to use and super bright. That's what you want for a slide viewer, right? Well, maybe. In this case, the price is right, so no complaints there. But sometimes "too bright" is a problem. And having to plug it in and unplug it to turn it on and off is rather inconvenient. I wish it had a dimmer switch, or at least an on/off switch. However, with no switches or dimmers, there is no need for instructions and therefore it's easy to use. Just plug it in and it's on. The high-intensity light always brings a "Whoa!" from someone else in the room, and even from me, the user! Fortunately, it gets its power from USB. I have a USB hub with switches for each port, so I can turn it on and off with the switch on the USB hub. Would be nice to have a touch-screen on/off and dimmer, especially at night when it just doesn't need to be so bright. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this slide viewer/sorter. It has a large size (8.5 by 12 inch illuminated area) and allows up to 24 (4 rows x 6 columns of 35 mm) slides to be comfortably viewed at the same time. The light is very uniform. The bright light and large size makes it useful for lots of different projects (tracing pictures, inspecting glass and optical filters for defects, lighting a room during a power fail using a battery with a USB port). Not sure yet about its longevity, but I can recommend this product to others based on its low-cost, ease of use, and multi-use versatility. Bring your own power switch! It works well in an office or other separated work room. If you use it at home in your living room or other common area, just be sure to warn others in the room before turning it on!

Excellent scanner and easy to use

Works amazing and with the old negatives it’s great to turn them into real photos again.

Very pleased with my purchase. Great item for scanning my photos. Lightweight

Update: well is was good while it lasted. I did use it quite a bit for several weeks, but it lost brightness and is now useless to me. Expected it to last much longer so a bit disappointing.This was a wonderful product for me to quickly view and sort slides. I had about two thousand to go through and I was able to view and using an app scan the ones I wanted to keep. Light was perfect and scan to pictures came out great .

Very bright. The last one i had was too dim and I kept inadvertently changing the settings with controls on the face of the light pad. Some reviewers were unhappy that it has no switch or brightness controls, but that just made it more reliable in my opinion.
