I need to go through hundreds of family slides and put them in some sort of order. This is exactly what I needed!

I have a "gazillion" 35mm slides from about 40-years ago. We haven't viewed them for many years because of an old projector/screen etc. I wanted to sort through all of my slides, and keep those which are good memories or in a few cases, exceptional photos, transferring them into digital format. You can spend hundreds of dollars on viewers - for the price, the 2x2 screen allows a decent look at the slide and it's condition. No computer link or remote with this viewer, just a little manual tinkering to get the job done. I won't be taking any more slides, so the viewer is expendable after my sorting, and this viewer works well for that. If you work with slides a lot, I'd recommend a higher-end viewer.

Perfect for what I wanted. It's hand-held, you can use it while traveling; it's easy to go through a pile of slides quickly! I'm very pleased. Great for the price.

Small, light and compact, this hand held viewer is easy to use and a quick and simple way to see and sort slides.

This viewer, on 2x AA batteries, was mission perfect for categorizing about 1000 family slides for photolab slide-to-CD scanning. Roundhouse guess, about 150 slides and hour. Tough to beat.

I purchased this slide viewer to go through about 500 slides that had been stored for years. It was easy to use, I was able to review the slides quickly, and choose the ones I wanted to print. It was an inexpensive way to spend a couple hours taking a trip down "Memory Lane." I would recommend this product.

This little viewer seems to be well enough made - but the advertising picture is misleading. When a slide is entered, the viewing picture does not appear right in front as shown - but way in the back, making it look not much bigger as the actual slide.

I have a bunch of slides that i needed to sort. This viewer is perfect. portable and just what it was intended for.

When my wife's father died he left hundreds of slides that documented the family history. I bought her a way to transfer a slide image to her pc but it would have taken forever to view them and decide which to keep this way. The purchase of this viewer was just the ticket. It allowed instant and quick change viewing so the slides could be sorted. The purchase turned a boring chore into a fun experience. The price was right, it worked as specified and I recommend this slide viewer to anyone wishing to sort a great number of slides.

Well, lets just say it does what it said, but it's cheaply made. I see no image distortion. It has about a 2x image blow up. I would recomend buying a power cord for this as it does go through Batterys... They do sell as a package. Would I buy this again....... I'll get back to you.
