The initial results are decent. The negatives I grabbed were of a vacation back in the nineties, and the shots are quality. This might have been from my GAF camera or maybe a Minolta. So long ago I can't remember.

Ease of use: plug it in, play with the buttons, don't get what you expect, RTFM, and you should be ready to feed negatives through the holder.

Cons: you have to handle your negatives, sometimes quite a bit if they curled. I would be more annoyed by that, except I expect this will be last time I see these negatives.

I bought the yellow version, and it was on sale that day for less than a 100. https://www.amazon.com/Wolverine-Resolution-Digital-Converter-Screen/dp/B01MRCNSJT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=IQEAIT33CAEH&keywords=wolverine+titan+8-in-1+high+resolution+film+to+digital+converter&qid=1688955086&s=electronics&sprefix=wolverine+titan+%2Celectronics%2C160&sr=1-1

I've only done one envelope, and the images are not worth sharing yet. I should try to dig out the original prints and see how good or bad they were. Ah, I see I left out a word. Should have read the shots are low quality, as in someone must have been laughing while taking several of the shots.

The Wolverine scanner does a mostly okay job. The image you see on the screen doesn't always match the image you get. While I have a lot of really pale friends, most people photos have them paler than normal. My friend's red hair is on the yellow side. All of these are easily fixed with a little fiddling, but it does show that the scanner isn't magic.

It also shoots only the center of the frame. If you took the image with the intention of the subject filling the frame, you'll have to decide which part of the scene is most important to you.

All in all, this is still a good buy. If, for no other reason, it's giving me a chance to enjoy old memories and also show me how much my photography style has shifted. Back in the days of film, every shot counted. Processing was expensive, especially back in my twenties on my salary. I just finished an envelop labeled Salisbury Cathedral, Salisbury Museum, Devizes Museum and Portchester Castle. All on one roll of film!

As an ex-lab guy who ran a pro lab's scanning operation before the gooey death of most film, I know how hard it can be to get the color and brightness right.

If, perchance, you have an adjustable camera with a 1:1 macro lens, and the ability to process raw files in Lightroom Classic, you can get great results copying slides and negatives with it. To make it easy, you do need Negative Lab Pro plug-in for LrC. It is similar to professional scanning software. See the PDF file attached.

The print from the lab was better. The reds were there.

I'm not ready to invest in more gear for this project. I had a fantastic scanner, the Canoscan, that did a very good job of negative scanning. It will not work with my current computer/OS. I tried all the tricks, and the best I could get was a semi-functional at best connection. I wish I'd started this two years ago, before I upgraded everything. However, since most of what I'm running into are old museum photos that were taken in bad light with overhead lighting reflecting on the cases, I'm not shedding many tears. Those I'm saving for the clipped-in-half negatives.
