Transfer your 35mm Slides and 35mm Film Negatives to your PC. For those of use that are old enough to use cameras before the “big switch” to digital you’ve no doubt got loads of memories stored away on 35mm Slides and 35mm negatives. Its not unusual for these to languish in boxes in cupboards or under the stairs gathering dust. The promise of course is that “one day” the 35mm slides will come out and be shown at a family gathering on the “big screen” but in reality the slides and negatives tend to stay put because its all just too much trouble, too time consuming and invariably the 35mm slide projector and screen tend to get stored in the loft or garage and its a whole world of pain trying to find and recover them.

Its the same with 35 negatives – once neatly stored with the photographs they relate to but typically over time “stuffed” in a box never to see the light of day again.

Well as technology moves on there now a pretty simple and easy way to breathe new life back into your slides and negatives. USB Slide and Negative scanners allow you to capture your images and store them digitally on your PC and of course from there you can email them to friends and family, post them on FaceBook, burn them to DVD’s or simply print them out in a size and format that suits.

USB slide scanners are getting better all the time and the latest versions don’t even need to be connected to a computer to be used, Instead they have a built in screen (viewer) and the images can be captured digitally and stored on a memory card (this card can then simply be plugged into your PC or plugged into a card reader connected to your PC and the images transferred onto the computer. Easy!. It really is.

The beauty of the USB Slide and Negative Scanners is that once you have captured your images and stored them on your PC then manipulating the images is easy, saving them for future use is easy and showing them off is a doddle!. With the growth in the use of Digital Photo Frames any old photo can now be displayed/shown off easily.

The Veho FilmScan35 USB Negative & Slide scanner is we believe the best of the bunch in the market at the moment. Its also known as the ION Film2SD – but it is exactly the same product in a different colour and with a different name.
