WolverineTitan 8-in-1 20MP High Resolution Film to Digital Converter with 4.3" Screen and HDMI Output, Worldwide Voltage 110V/240V AC Adapter, 32GB SD Card & 6ft HDMI Cable Bundle (Yellow)

Based on a not-so-good review on a Kodak converter that I was looking at, which was disclosed that it was not made by Kodak at all, the reviewer recommended the Wolverine F2D Titan. Its reviews sold me on purchasing it. I am very glad that I did! The instructions were complete and easy to follow. The adapters for several slide and film sizes were easily marked and of very nice quality. The included cleaning brush is a helpful tool. And, a 32MG SD card was in the box! The converter itself, along with its large screen, is amazing. It is so simple to use and the converted photos are perfect. Now, a previous review mentioned that when viewing some negatives in the converter screen, the color balance may be slightly off, but I just use the photo software that came with my computer and adjust the prints the same way I adjust my photos from my digital camera after downloading to my computer. Because I am used to doing this, I did not test the converter's color balance feature.I've been looking at film-to-digital converters for a long time and am so glad I purchased this one....both for its ease of use, and its great value (compared to what others cost).

Like most reviewers, I've got many decades of old slides. I've had several other devices which were designed to create digital images from the slides, but none worked very well. The Wolverine Titan blew me away. The images are excellent and are better quality than any other device I've tried or seen. I love the brush they included to keep the photo lens clear, and I couldn't ask for a better representation of the original slide. I noted that some reviewers reported missing (or cropped) heads on images. I suspect some problems could be caused by inserting a 35 mm slide in a portrait orientation rather than inserting it as a landscape view. I found that the Wolverine is designed to take slides in a landscape mode (since the film is wider than it is tall). This isn't a problem if you just rotate the image after it is digitized using one of many image viewing software programs on your computer. This will capture all of the video recorded on the film and rotating it electronically later works without cropping part of the image. I also found the work flow fast and easy. I would readily buy this product again (although I don't plan to take 35 mm slides ever again;-).

I ordered the Wolverine based on good reviews on Amazon. I received my unit in two days. During setup, not more than 5 minutes after opening the box, the unit froze-up. Customer Service was helpful; they said the unit had a short and I needed to return it for a replacement. I received the replacement about a week later (which included a delay because of bad weather in my area). After this initial glitch, the new unit worked fine. I am using the Wolverine to transfer my 135mm slide collection to digital. The unit is easy to use, and it is possible to physically digitize about six slides/minute. The download to my computer is easy. The instruction manual that accompanies the unit needs work; the process for digitizing is not described well and I had to figure out some aspects of digitizing and downloading myself. My biggest complaint with the unit is the quality of the digitized images. The colors seem to be too saturated and the results tend to emphasize yellow. I have to manipulate the color balance on nearly every image once I have downloaded it to my computer. There are color and clarity manipulation options built into the Wolverine unit itself, but I did not find the results to be satisfactory, and manipulating the color balance slide-by-slide would be very, very cumbersome. To be honest, I have digitized many of my 135mm slides in the past, and most scanners/digitizers do only a fair job of reproducing the quality of the original slides; the same can be said of the Wolverine--no better and no worse than other options. Ease of use and price are the Wolverine's selling points.

Pictured: My dad “Red” in Vietnam around 1972. I couldn’t believe the quality of the pictures. In minutes, I scanned slides from the Vietnam War and negatives from the 70’s and 80’s that belonged to my father who just passed. While he was alive, he paid several hundreds of dollars to have some of his Super 8 film converted, which took 11 months to get back and they ruined one of his reels. He would have paid double for this little machine to convert all his slides and negatives. He always wanted to get the slides and pictures converted but it would have been too much money and risky to send it off through the mail. It’s too bad we didn’t know about this product. My family is so happy that I purchased this to give them a chance to see pictures they haven’t seen for 30 years or more.The color balance option before saving is an awesome feature. Fixing the pictures after scanning would take much longer, but this machine lets you easily adjust it before saving. Excellent.

Very happy with this product - don't let the price fool you, it does an excellent job! Very simple to use and the best part is you don't need to be connected to your computer to complete the scans! So far, I've tried 35mm slides and negatives and find the results to be excellent. When using, take care to use the enclosed cleaning stick to periodically clean the light in the base of the unit! Also, don't let the image on the screen lead you to believe you have a bad image - the quality after downloading to your computer is excellent. The unit will not let you scan directly to your computer, you must use an SC card or internal memory, but the enclosed USB cable does let you connect to your computer and you can copy the images directly - this isn't fully described in the instructions. Side note: I've only had this for a few days - so far, so good.
