*The **Bestt.Digital** slide scanner was exactly what I was looking for. It's easy to use, and converted my slides to good quality digital pix. I recommend it highly.*
Glad it helped!
I think taking pictures back then meant something. Film was something special, every picture looked good (even if it was poorly shot still had something special), it describe the mood setting occasion passion, whatever, they had a connection and feelings, today it's just a picture. Especially flash, flash was amazing. It's like looking through your parents photos, you can feel how they felt, from now on every digital picture is just a picture, I can not feel anything at all, can anyone relate?
I definitely understand this, especially as a bit more time went into a photo, you never knew if you had 'THE' shout, until it was processed :)
I can totally relate. The same goes for a lot of things we had to wait for back in the day. Wonderful comment.
lol..My younger two cannot belive the process of taking pics in the old days...great demo..
I was looking for something very cheap to do basic slide conversion.
Its crazy to think back to those times, Do be aware some of the newer phones like Iphone 13 are not as compatible, so do check what you buy before you commit!!
@@ourtwotube many thanks 👍🏻
great help, thank you for posting this!
Glad it was helpful!
Going to get this for my mom for Xmas. She’s got a few cans of 35mm that she hasn’t got to see for 25+ years.
takes a fair while to get through them all but it's worth while to get them on digital platforms to view years later
just had my first film photoshoot today. I'm hoping it'll turn out good. Thanks for this Sir!
Have fun!
Thanks Paul. I should get mine tomorrow. I was hoping you'd tell us what the bulb was but I will find out soon enough.
Hi David, It's a LED light, one thing I also forgot to mention is to try and make sure the neg is the right way up, otherwise the image will be mirrored to its original format, easy to fix in an app but just a bit of extra messing around. Enjoy the memories! :)
@@ourtwotube Thanks. I have a similar product which scans View-Master reels and it uses a LED. I appreciate your time in answering. I know I will enjoy it!
WOW thanks!! Awesome video and thanks.
You bet!
I did not get a nice picture like yours at all!!
What happened Lynne? What was the result like?
Great tutorial & clever piece of kit, I bought one to use with my iPhone 13. I noticed when you slid the film into the slot it seemed to project the image to the whole screen, when I’ve tried the camera just takes a photo of the slide in its mount & when I make it fit the screen it’s distorted & blurred, hope you can advise. Thanks.
Hi Dave, When I worked this video the I13 was not out, I have tried myself today with the I13 and have experienced the same issue. I presume because of the change of camera to the I11 or whatever i was using at the time, If you have access to an Iphone with 2 lenses I think it will work - Will look at doing an update for this. I have seen someone comment on the latest Amazon listing that if you mess about with where the phone sits and which lenses see the negative you can get the right combination - Hope that helps
@@ourtwotube Thank you so much for your reply, I will take a look at the Amazon comments which I hope helps, look forward to your next video. Thanks again.
@@davesevier7833 Anytime, let me know how you get on with it, I'll have a bit of a deeper look at it over the weekend, see if I can suss it out
@@ourtwotube Had a look at the suggestions in the Amazon comments & tried what was suggested but still didn’t work for me so it will be interesting to see if you manage to come up with something. Regards Dave
@@davesevier7833 Hi Dave, I figured it out. if you set up the pic scanner as normal and put the light on and negative in the tray, place the phone on top as normal and move the lenses position around until you can see a bit of colour in the negative, you then need to lift the phone up while keeping position and zoom in a bit - it is a bit of a faff but it can be done with the 13, There really should of been an update in the app to cater for the lense but sadly there isn't. It is possible though, I think once you do a handful you will get the hang of it and be able to capture everything you need to.
This device is a mere knock-off of a Kodak mobile film scanner that cost three times as much as the Rybozen. Even the app is similar to the Kodak. Still, an informative and instructional video.
This oldschool photo is so "Trainspotting" like.
Hi, does it need to use zoom when scanning ?
You don't need to zoom, you could crop the picture after you have taken the image
I just got this gadget from Amazon today and I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max but I have slides :( not having much luck any suggestions 🙏
This could be the extra lens issue, I found with Iphone 13 upwards you need to hold the phone and move it around a bit until it obscures one of the lens until you see the image, it is a bit fiddly at first but once you get into the rhythm of doing it, you should be able to fly through some images
Hi there, thanks for the vid. Is the picture quality good? Do you think its the type of scanner to use if one wants to make larger prints? Thanks
Good question, To be honest i'm not 100% on that without doing a comparison, I would say you can definitely do it, most scanners though have a few extra filter layers that overall probably take a better image, Looking at some of the images I have taken with the slide scanner, if I wanted to print any I would make some adjustments with photoshop first to help balance the contrast and colours a little more, but could well be a worthy experiment. :)
Thank you for your reply. I just wondered if the quality of the image depended on the image quality from the phone being used? Or maybe I'm just wrong?
@@AM-kn4mc I think you raise a good question to be honest, will see if I can ake time to trail this out, the results might be interesting :)
@@ourtwotube thank you so much. I'm going to subscribe. Thank you for your help and I look forward to the video!
@@AM-kn4mc appreciate it! 🙏
Paul, the name of this video includes "Slide Scanner". Can the scanner handle 35mm slides?
yes absolutley
I have mine and i couldn’t get the photo clear? I tried zooming it and it is still blurry :( what can I do?
Have you tried to turn off auto focus on your camera, and ensure the lens is clean? Might be worth trying it with your front facing camera if the back one isn't playing, What type of phone do you have? let me know how you get on
Which app did you used?
The app is called Pic Scanner by Rybozen
but exposing negetives to the light directly ?
that will ruin the negetives right ?
I am confused ... as everyone is saying " open the back lid of the film camera during photoshoot will ruin everything AS BECAUSE OF THE DIRECT LIGHT "
then how this will work ?
Once a photographic negative is developed it is no longer photosensitive. Photographic negatives and prints can fade over time if continuously exposed to direct sunlight, but it's unlikely you're storing your negatives like that.
Here's how it works. First without exposing the negative you need to rewind the film back into the canister. Get the roll developed in a photo lab or at home . Once developed you can do anything with the negatives.
Still overall he gets it done
Appreciate it
