Product Review (submitted on December 10, 2020):
The Magnasonic All-in-One 22MP Film Scanner is useful for scanning 35 mm slides rapidly, creating a catalog or for viewing on-screen, but falls short if you want to make prints larger than 8" x 10" (20 x 25 cm). Part of the issue is resolution: a Kodachrome slide might have the equivalent of 50 MB of information, but this device captures 14 megapixels, interpolated to 22 MP. There also seems to be limited color depth.Pros: Easy use and setup, fast throughput, easy to adjust brightness, easy to clean dust from light sourceCons: Limited resolution, clouds and other blown-out highlights are decidedly yellow, limited color depthTip: Cut manila folders into strips the width of media (e.g. 5 cm for 35 mm mounted slides), write description of a series of slides, and take a picture of that before each box.
