Plustek 2 x 35 mm Mounted Slide Holders (Positive), for OpticFilm 72~83 Series use only (8100 & 8200i & 8300i)

These negative holders made by Plustek, specifically for the Plustek Scanner. Well made and hold your negatives well for the scanning process. Pleased I invested in addition negative holders, as you only get one of each if the 35 mm and slide negative holders with the Plustek Scanner.The additional holders allow you to load up the next 4/6 No negatives to keep the process continuous.

These trays were bough as a replacement for the original tray that came with a PlusTek 8200i. This tray was not latching properly as it was slid from slide to slide. The new trays are sturdy - in fact sturdier than the original. They work well with the slide scanner. Delighted. NB These are not the trays illustrated - they are better.

Bought some extra to save constantly loading/unloading and these look identical in size and function to originally supplied. Fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it but not quick manually loading and moving slide to slide. Definitely not value for money though as just a few bits of plastic and can also see a few areas where improvements could be made.

Extortionate price in the UK, even if they have been sent from US. Mine cost £43 GBP, and came with an advice note showing the item price as $ 24 US. Even allowing for shipping, duties and VAT that looks like a colossal markup, so two stars deducted for that alone. Item itself is exactly what you'd expect - plastic mounted slide holders.......
