Good basic Unit
Purchased this viewer to review my dad's slides in order to selectively copy them to memory cards for myself and my sister. After which I can dispose of the slides. Good little unit for this application

Good visibility and light switch
Viewing old family slides, and collaborating with an author on a book, using his slides from his service in Vietnam. I like that I can push down on the slide and the light stays on, so my book collaborator, who has Parkinson's from his exposure to Agent Orange, doesn't have to hold the slide in. The viewing screen is big and bright enough. I can set it on the table and it doesn't flop over.

Great VIEWER
I'm young and I can see how this can bring back the old slides to life for many, but for me it helps me to decide which slides to scan, if, when and at what cost. Plus I like seeing the slide raw, its really a work of art. So beautiful.

Very well pleased all around
This rugged, adaptable viewer solved a reviewing problem in selecting old time, family type slides to convert to digital. It works quite well and is an asset in quickly determining which of the pictures to save and format. And the B&H service was equally splendid with much obvious attention paid to good customer service techniques, detailing each step of the process. Thanks.

memories of old
thanks to this viewer my parents have been able to go back in time and relive old times that were full of fun and happy times. This viewer has really made a brighter time in their life. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Perfect description of item
Having thousands of old color slides and not having a projector, this unit makes it very easy to review and sort out the undesirable photos

Pana-Vue 6560 Slide viewer
I bought this to look at, and catalogue, hundreds of old slides that my parents had taken of my brother, and myself, while we were growing up. This little viewer worked out great, and made the work of going through the slides very easy and enjoyable.

Slide sorting - just the thing
Have several hundreds of old 35 mm slides. This viewer is being used to sort the slides before loading them into a software file. You get a very clear picture that represents the picture as taken.

Handy
I use to review slides for orientation, etc before scanning. With battery power, can use it anywhere.

WORKS GREAT
This viewer works fine for what I need to sort and categorize old slides. Picture is clear and bright. Glad I found it at a reasonable price.

Works for me
It's been over 30 years since I last took a 35 mm. picture. With no working projector to view my slides, this is perfect for me -- small, easy to use, bright picture. I do wish the picture size was a little larger.

a classic tool
My dad had one of these for many years. Now that I have the task of sorting through his hundreds of thousands of slides, this tool is indispensable for deciding which slides to keep and which to discard.

RETURNING ITEM
I could not get this to work. After installing the batteries it would not work, took the batteries out and the bulb housing fell out and would not go back in. Very poor quality, I am returning it.

Provides useful convenience
I am using this to review my old slides, and deciding whether to scan the slides into a digital file. I quickly gives a clear bright image of the slide. Very happy with its performance, so far.

Not too impressed
This is identical to the one I had purchased 12 years ago. I can interchange the back part, etc. New one is brighter (due to the newer white screen), but that's it, plus it seems the slides don't pop out like they should. Should have just stayed with the old one. I think there are better models out there.

Viewer works as expected. Slides are easy to put in and out of the slot. So far no problems. It works well for intended use. Too bad it dosen't hold larger slides also.

serves the purpose
to sort slide collection faster than a projector for my purposes not as stable as it could be, but for the price I, am satisfied.

Glad I Bought It
I've been going through thousand of old slides I bought. It's been slow going with a light board or putting them in a carousel and projecting them. The Pana-Vue slide viewer has made the project much easier. I was a little leery of buying it after reading some of the reviews about its build quality, but I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's plastic, but it's a strong hard plastic that feels solid and works fine. I don't feel any need to baby it. It's design is a little top-heavy, so I think it could use a wider base for extra stability.

Serves the purpose.
This slide viewer basically has a one-time use for me, reviewing a bunch of slides one last time, selecting the ones I want to digitize and tossing the rest. That means I'm manually inserting and removing each slide individually, but couldn't see spending any more for something I'll never use again. Screen size and magnification are fine for my purposes.

6560 Slide Viewer # 1
I was given some old family slides. Having not had a slide viewer for many, mnay years-I was put in a position to need to purchase one. Here in Florida I got advice from a camera store that the only source they knew of was B & H in New York! Correct- ... now have the viewer at a low price that magnifies 4 times and shows the details of the old slides clearly.Many thanks to everyone at B & H !!

feels a little flimsy
We bought this for my father-in-law's birthday, as he wanted to go through all his 35mm slides and select the ones to have put on DVD. It was a great gift and you got it to us fast, but I hope it doesn't break while he's using it. These used to be made of metal... and I wish they still were! Putting in the batteries might be difficult for arthritic hands of an older person. It does have the best magnification of any I looked at, and it also has two standing positions. I thought it was over-priced; should sell for less than $15.00!

Just what I wanted.
This product was exactly what I was looking for. I can clearly see my slides and determine whether I wanted to keep them and if so select those to digitize for the computer. Quick and easy and works like a charm. Inexpensive and does the job.
