As advertised...
Needed a cheap viewer to review old slides before selecting them for digitizing. It works, but very small view size, Cannot load more than single slides. and have to hold slide and light switch on at all times.It works but probably not worth the price sold at.

Well worth the Purchase Price
Help min in organizing my 600 plus 34 mm slides in order to have then put on a DVD disc. Easy to use with a bright light

Easy way to view individual slides
This viewer is lightweight and easy to operate. I like the light switch that saves battery power! Be aware that this is only 2X magnification. There are other models that magnify more.

Perfect fit for my needs!
This is perfect for viewing old slides if you don't have a projector. I can go through a box of slides pretty fast to chose the ones I want to scan into my computer. The old model has a stand not included on this new one, although there is a place for one. So I took the stand off the old model and put it on my new one. Perfect!

Very practical 35mm slide view
Easy to use. Nice bright viewing light. Lightweight, small. Opted to use batteries (two AA) versus plug/transformer. Only disadvantage is the requirement to load slides individually/by hand.

dont't judge a product by it's size
Small, bright, GREEN, environmentally friendly, (will not light up unless you are holding the slide down) saves batteries/environment. Easy to use. Gave it a 4....after more use...may change to 5. Service at B/H, is as always, courteous and informative.

poor quality viewer
It took me hours to get it to work, and when I finally was able to get it to light up, it is very inconsistent. The price was right so I will keep it, but it will be pretty frustrating as I view our many slides.

Works OK
I use this slide viewer to select old slides that I want to digitize. Works adequately but would prefer more magnification; i.e. would prefer 4X to this viewer's 2X.

Easy Peasy
As president of our local Historical Society and in possession of a great deal of slides that we know not what they are - this little viewer fits our needs. Now, anyone in our group can pop a slide in the slot and take a quick look to see what was photographed. And since space is an issue for us too, the size is perfect! And so is the price!

Quite useful and functional for the pric
Just what I needed to view, and sort the hundreds of slides kept since the first one in 1952. Quite functional and just the proper size.

Will use product over and over again
Using to view old slides and put in book with description of each. The viewer is great for this project as we do not have a slide projector. Very easy to use.

The price is right
This is a solid, compact product and works well. The fact that it has an optional transformer is a plus so that you don't always have to rely on batteries. Unfortunately the slide does not click into it and the person must continually press down on the slide for the light to remain on. That could be a bit inconvenient but for the price I am happy with this product.

Perfect for the job
Can't beat this simple viewer for looking through slides without having to put them on a carousel. We're collecting the best family pictures to digitize and this is an efficient way to go through them all. Simplicity is beauty. Images are fairly small but clear--certainly enough to judge whether they are worth digitizing. I can't look as closely as I might like sometimes because my aging eyes are getting more farsighted, so I would need to remove my contacts to really examine slides.

Served my purpose
I was able to review all my old slides to priortize them for scanning and for sorting them. I was able to do it effectively. I am satisfied with the viewer.

Easy to use-Great Price
Great to help loading carousel, I have inherited many, many slides from my father and grandfather. Bought a slide projector at an estate sale for $ and this tool for helping he ID and put them in order. Next step is to have all slides put into digital scan format and DVD.

Seeing a blast from the past.
I am enjoying slides of my children that were taken 40+ years ago. Very fond memories. One complaint: there are little black specks on the white lightbulb cover that interfere with some of the pictures. Please advise how I can exchange this slide projector.

Perfect for sorting old slides
This little viewer is perfect for my project of sorting our old slides for transfer to disk. Hadn't looked at them in years and now my only problem is they all look so good, it's hard not to choose them all :)

My second one
I bought one of these back in about 1968. It worked great for almost 45 years. It finally failed due to me leaving some batteries in it too long. The new one is great. Batteries install easily, and viewing screen is a good size for viewing. I seem to have to press harder on the new one to get the light to turn on, but it's just a matter or getting use to it.

In love for the second time
This viewer is probably the same as the one it replaces from 30 years ago. I bought it for my dad and his project. It is perfect for the task.

Viewer works great! Thanks!
My 89 year old mother found a box of the old 8mm slides in her attic. I purchased the slide viewer for her and she is just thrilled to see pictures of family from the 50's and 60's. The viewer works great. Thanks so much for having it available.

Product Does Exactly What I Expected
I purchased this product to view a couple hundred old slides my parents took years ago. I wanted to find the ones that I wanted to get digitized and create a DVD for my brother, sister and I. All I wanted was a viewer that I could put a slide in and see if it was one I wanted to include on the DVD. It worked like a champ for that purpose. It was better then setting up the old projector.
