KLIM K2 Mobile Film Scanner 35mm + New + Positive & Negative Scanner + Slide Scanner + Photo Scanner + 35mm Color Film Developing Kit Essential + Your own 35mm Film Developing Service at Home

This works well and it is easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised because I've tried other slide scanners, and they never perform quite as you want them to. This one worked great and it is easy to store.

I needed to scan 200 slides for a photo book. Aftern discovering that my Canon slide scanner was not supported by Canon anymore, I was in a bind. I orded thie slide scanner as a quick, cheap alternative.I was blown away by how well the KLIM K2 Mobile Film Scanner worked. I created three 70-page photo books for my family and they look great.The scanner is easy to use and I could edit the slides for brightness, contract, etc. as I scanned each slide.This might not be great for professional photographers, but it was perfect for me. I can't say enough about this product.It's a fantastic value!

This is great little display box for 35mm film negatives. Taking pictures with my iPhone – not so much. Their iOS app is ok – at least it is free, unlike their competition that charges a monthly subscription fee (!?). It's a little quirky, but it does the job.My biggest complaint is that you can't fill the field of view. I tried both iPhones 13 Pro and 16 Pro, and only the ultra-wide camera (0.5X) would focus on the film, not the normal (1X). The software crops the image, but then you're left with a snapshot with only 500 or 600 pixels on a side – not good. Switching out the vertical supports for the included shorter ones does help a bit, since then the camera is closer and fills more of the frame, but still not great.In the end, I ended up just using my dSLR with a macro zoom lens and extension tube mounted on small tripod to re-photograph the negative. With an extremely shallow depth-of-field, it takes a couple tries to get the film negative properly in focus. I still can't fill the frame, but at least it's high enough resolution with cropping to see the film grain. It's a little tedious working with negatives, focus, shoot. But without a doubt, it's far better than just scanning a three-decade old print. I can pull out much dynamic range from the negative, and I can use modern software to clean up and adjust the picture more than I ever could before.For the price, and relatively few cherry-picked photos that I want to digitize, it's definitely worth it.

It didn't work for my application which was to scan Negatives and Slides using an app that was suggested by the manufacturer. It's a waste of time and money. I have a custom built HP & an ASUS Vivo Book. TO BE FAIR: Each computer has a motherboard which is uniquely programmed to work with many applications. There is no telling where the app for this item originated. This happens with many apps. I found 21 different manufacturers of computers. It would be great if the App creators & manufacturers would share with us which apps will function without difficulty with our computers.Amazon did accept my return of this product.Remember Amazon has a 30-day return. So do not purchase this product until you are ready to use it and test it.

I ordered this scanner for a second shot at my pre-digital 35mm negatives. The scanner is plastic but sturdy, is easy to assemble (2 AA batteries included), and is easy to use. Negatives slide between gates over the light source, and your cell phone overhangs a shelf with camera lens exposed. My cell phone focused automatically (without macro) and I used the cell phone zoom function to fit the negative image to the cell phone screen. Once set up, scanning successive negative images is a "slide and shoot" fast function.It's not a scanning function, but photo editing improves the end results. I used (not included but affordable) Corel PaintShop Pro desktop PC software for cropping, conversion to positive, correcting old film color shift, and photo enhancement. The two attached photos are (nominally 1900 pixel by 2800 pixel) scans of 35 year old color negatives. The edited scans print well.

It does not work with phones which do not focus at short distances. I have an iphone 15 which does not have macro capability. The KLIM does have a nice slide sized light area for viewing the slides and I was able to use my camera which does focus at close range to take photos of the illuminated slides. The directions that come with the KLIM do not discuss anything but film, but I was able to view slides. I will not return the KLIM, because it wasn't terribly expensive and I am able to use it, but it is not as useful as I had hoped.

When I purchased this I wasn’t expecting Epson quality scans and I wasn’t disappointed. The scans I was getting using the software were 2mp to 3mp file size which is basically useless for printing pictures. It’s fine to digitize old slides - my preference - and look at them on computer but forget about printing pictures. They came out grainy and were a waste of paper and ink.I also used my iPhone 15 Pro Max camera and got better pictures but nothing to write home about.I then tried with my ProCamera app on the same phone and got much better “scans”. It was harder to set up though. But still not great print quality.Overall it’s an ok way to digitize film and slides but if you want scans to print quality pictures get an epson v600 - I will be.

For the crazy, low price, this is a pretty cool device. You can actually sort through and resurrect photos from negatives and slides very easily. The resolution is not very good, but you will result in a clear photo that is shareable via email and social media. Be aware that color settings are all over the place. I suspect that ambient light in the room may leak into the capture which will mess with the final result. Try to keep it out of direct ambient light and take extra care with the photo settings. You'll get some good results.
