Description

The great thing about old 35mm photos is that most of us have them tucked away on negatives, stuffed in forgotten drawers. On the negative (excuse the pun) side, however, most of us can't remember what's on the negatives until we find our reading glasses, hold them up to the light and squint. And even then it's hard to tell.  Enter the latest and greatest, in terms of USB gadgets - our USB Negative Scanner.

At the touch of a button this idiot-proof gizmo scans 35mm negatives and slides, then converts the images into digital pics. You can then edit, crop and resize them using the included software ready for printing, archiving or just viewing on the big screen. 

Open your drawers, and delve into days long gone by - precious memories of Granny wearing her Sunday best Dad and Mum standing proud as punch in front of their shiny new Morris Minor you as a chubby toddler covered in chocolate head to toe, eating your first easter egg - and the list goes on, and on, and on...

These gizmos are honestly, so, so cool. Time wasters, yes, but very, very easy to use to pop your old pics into digital format, and make them useable in this day and age. The perfect gift for the generation where the only option for capturing those precious memories was the 35mm pictures. Convert them, and store them on your pc, where they are easy to access and view.
