JJC ES-2 Film Digitizing Adapter with 6500K USB LED Light Set, 35mm Negative Film Copying Scanner for Canon Sony Nikon Macro Lens, Convert Negatives to Digital JPEG

This negative copier works great and its fast to use, once you get it set up. At the moment I am using a 50mm lens and adaptor with a extension tube on My G9. This set up is quick to use and the results are better than the dedicated negative scanner I have been using. The LED light has brightness settings on the control to get the light just right and can run off any USB out put. No negatives so far, well made and does the job.

Well made and works well with my Nikon 40mm macro lens. Knocked a star off because the various tubes that fit different cameras must add a lot to the cost when only one may be required (why not be able to buy these separately?). Anyway, it's great to not have to worry about getting the slide/negative at the right angle regardless of how you hold the setup and know that the light source is consistent.

So I got this full kit because it wasn't too much more than the individual kits. And I am very glad about that. Firstly, the LED light is a godsend. Without it you cannot get good consistent results, and it is very worth the money.Secondly, the components seem to be made quite well. There are a lot of metal tubes etc and the plastics are all quite sturdy and do not feel cheaply made.Thirdly, and this is a bit of a negative as well, the kit come really full accessorized. There are a ton of spare rings and parts to accommodate different cameras and lenses. This can be a bit of a pain as you have to figure out everything but once done its OK. And everything come packed well and in separate boxes so putting things away is not an issue. (In fact I would recommend you do that so that nothing gets lost!)The instructions are a weak point but you can figure them out.I used a Nikon D810 with a 50mm lens and Kenko extension tubes. The instructions don't cover such a combo so it took me a bit to figure it out but it worked fine in the end.I got very good consistent results, and once set up, the work flow was super fast. Focus manually on the grain and you can get through negatives very very fast.The main issue I had was in the conversion from negative to positive in Camera Raw. After a few initial trys of using curves, I switched to JPEG instead and simply let Photoshop do the inversion. Which was much much faster and frankly better. So processing will vary from people to people and media to media.But for anyone who has a lot of negatives or slides and want to digitize them this is a very good solution and Highly Recommended.

With several thousand 35mm slides to digitise, I had hopes for this, despite some 1 star reviews.Unfortunately, the slide carrier will not accept the thicker plastic slide mounts in which many of my 35mm transparencies were mounted in the USA in the '90s. It's far too much faff and expense to have them remounted.Illumination from the LED panel is uneven, and the few thinner-mounted slides I tried needed too much post-processing for it to be worth my time.Sadly, it's gone back to Amazon for a refund.

Was sceptical about product quality after reading some reviews, as I thought this might be made of plastic. The product was made of good quality material, robust metal and plastic, really good result when transferring slides to jpeg. It is so easy to use.

Very good results when linked with Nikon D850.

I must be missing something in the setup as I get flaring at the edges of scans with dark edges?

This is a super bit of kit which is a third of the price of a better marketed competitor. It is only good value if you already have a camera and a macro lens. If you don't a flat bed scanner might be worth consideration. Have seen reviewers concerned about light leakage - there are two positions for the slide carrier one on the tube which is light tight, the second in front of the light box which is the one I use. The sides are readily closed with black paper/masking tape (if concerned), but use the light on max and subdued or shady light there's no problem. Worth spending time getting the slide holder aligned but a minor inconvenience. You get what you pay for and this does a cracking job used sensibly and is going to be far better/easier/more convenient than using a copying stand. Near perfect at a great price. Once you have copied all your slides, you should have no difficulty selling it on....or, keep to copy negatives.
