Wolverine Titan 8-in-1 High Resolution 35mm, 127, 126, 110 and APS Film to Digital Converter with 4.3" Screen and HDMI Output

Honestly such a good scanner easy to use happy with how my exposures came out!

Note that this is not a scanner it is more like a camere and each has its pros and cons. If you need high quality images this is not the tool but for snapshots it will do a decent job especially on black and white and save you loads of time compared to scanning. In fact it has an advantage that it seem not to record dust and hair on films as faithfully as a scanner. Colours are in most cases acceptable but I find that thin or very light parts of films will be almost bright yellow, not white as in a scanner. This is annoying but can sometimes be remedied by adjusting the exposure. It would be a great advantage to be able to see the results of adjusted exposure live while playing with the controls.The unit it self is nicely built and easy to work with. The screen is large enough and has acceptable resolution for the purpose and the controls allow for most things one needs. Film holders are a bit clumsy and take some time getting used to but they are well marked with the purpose of each holder so one always knows which one to use.I need top quality scans of many of my films to be able to work with them and those I will use a scanner for but I also have a lot of films, family shots, travel memories etc., which do not need such quality and are better enjoyed as viewable images on a screen to share with family and friends rather than locked away in storage. For that purpose the Wolverine Titan serves adequetly. The unit it self and ease of operating gets my five stars but if I compare image quality output to scanned images iI give it three stars which is not bad, really.

This little device is easy to set up, easy to use, and very effective. The resulting picture quality is much better than I expected. I enjoyed easily and quickly copying several hundred 35mm slides and posting the digital results on Flickr for family and friends. I did not use the Wolverine for significant editing of my slides and didn't intend it for that purpose, which is much more effectively managed on my computer screen with dedicated software for that purpose...as one would expect. A very good buy in my view.

I read reviews on just about every slide and film scanner available before landing on this one. I have to admit that even though I've been shooting slide film since the late sixties and I also needed to scan my fathers slides, I really only had about 450-500 slides to scan. So while I usually do buy quite expensive photo gear, I decided to try an economy unit, after all if you don't spend a lot on one and the results aren't great, well then what have you to complain about? However this little Wolverine scanner works great! And the complaints about slow scanning are false. I got a routine down right away and for all the slides I had to scan I spent only a couple of hours one afternoon. In other words I was done in no time. The picture quality is fantastic! This little scanner corrected for incorrect white balance without me making any adjustments at all. When I was 15 years old I was developing Kodak Ektachrome film using the Kodak E4 processing kit. One day while bringing one of the developers to temp. I broke the bottle of developer in the pot of water on a hot plate as was my method. In a crazy quick decision I reached for a bottle of Kodak D-76 B&W developer. The result was all the shots on that roll of film were very blue. When I scanned these slides with the Wolverine scanner they all came out color corrected! I just couldn't be happier with this little unit and recommend it to anyone looking for one to purchase. The sample photo was taken in 1956.

Slides (Color, 35mm) :1. Quality of the scan is OK, as in "Mediocre". if the slide is well-lit, daylight scene, it is scanned wellenough to print a 3x5", maybe 4x6". Don't expect much, and you will not be disappointed. both coloraccuracy and details will be "meh"2. The 35mm slide-holder only fits 1 slide at a time, and is designed for Cardboard mounts.Plastic-mounted slides are slightly too thick. You can force it (I did) but each time you are riskingbreaking the slide-carrier.(note - you can buy on amazon slide-carriers for this scanner that will hold 4 slides at a time. Thesemake things faster, but they are also designed for cardboard-mounted slides)Negatives:Wolverine Titan is a good negative VIEWER. It is a mediocre-at-best negative SCANNERWhen you look at a negative on the unit's Screen, in many cases it looks good (up to the resolution ofthe screen), but with good coloring. But when you look at the saved pictures, the colors are skewedbadly, with a greenish/bluish tint. IF you know how to do some Post-processing, and you are willingto fix up each frame separately - you can get it in most cases to look decent for display on a computerscreen, maybe good enough for a 3x5" print (for well lit frames).If you really need higher-quality slide scanning, and can't afford a service(typically 0.50-$2.00/slide), and do not want to use a scanner either due to cost or its1 slide/Minute typical speed, your best option is to buy a slide-photographing adapter for yourdigital SLR (or build one - The web has many DIY designs.) I have aNikon D3200 DSLR (a pretty basic "beginner's" model) and I bought the 40mm MACRO lens +"ES-2" Slide adapter and a Strong LED-Lamp panel. It worksThe Nikon ES-2 adapter will allow me to photograph Negatives, not just slides, but since I don't have the really expensive D850 camera that knows how to reverse the colors correctly, I have to then take the results and edit them in some Photo-shop like program, with results being Mediocre and each frame requiring too much work. (if you just photograph a color negative and ask the program to just reverse the colors, the result will usually have a strong color-cast, with everything tinted towards orange. Removing this is a bitch.
