Review : Afga Duoscan 100 - 35mm & 110 negative & transparency scanner
I have 1000's of photographs which I took in the 1980's and 1990's using a 35mm SLR camera and have been looking for a method to scan the negatives rather than the photographs because of the better quality from doing so. Having read various reviews on the web for scanning negatives, I decided to buy the standalone Agfa Duoscan 100 negative transparency scanner. You don't need a PC to use this scanner.

It is extremely easy to use with a single 'OK' button to scan negatives, scanning negatives takes a few seconds and you can review the image on the 2.4" LCD display before clicking on the 'OK' button and can delete any unwanted images by clicking on the wastebasket.

It can work as a standalone unit which is great if your negatives aren't near a PC. Images are stored on a standard SD card (which is not supplied) which you insert and eject from the back of the unit in just the same manner as you do with a camera. I've been using a spare 2GB SD card from my camera...
