Here’s one for the select few, yet equally as interesting for those digital SLR fans. The 35mm slide and film negative scanner is your one-stop workstation for turning those old negatives into digital masterpieces.
The slide and negative converter will scan your old photo’s up to 1,829 DPI and easily convert them to jpeg. With USB connection the digital slide converter will quickly and easily build your family photo album into a digital copy. The slide scanner also comes with drives to work directly with Photoshop to remove pesty scratches, watermarks and the like. Unfortunately the slide and negative converter doesn’t work with Mac, only Windows systems.
I would think the best suited customer for this type of product are those into family history and Genealogy. So, if you have a family member looking to one-up their family tree with digital photo copies let them know about this slide and negative converter for 35mm film.
