Countless slides and negatives from old times are stored in many places at home in the basement or in the attic and can therefore no longer be used. But how can photo lovers save these analog “picture treasures” from earlier years into the digital present? The digitization expert reflecta GmbH offers various attractive solutions here.

The x22 scanner digitizes 35mm films and slides very easily and without the use of a computer. The reflecta x22-Scan's display measures 5.8 cm (2.3"). The display already makes the selection and scanning of old films and slides a real pleasure. Of course, the color display is also used for scan control and color and exposure adjustment, because in addition to the automatic function, both the exposure and the color reproduction can be corrected manually before the scanning process. The digitized image sets can then be viewed directly on the display. This means that the scanner can also be conveniently used to play back the scans.

The 8 megapixel CMOS sensor of the reflecta x22-Scan ensures the highest image quality and brilliant color reproduction and enables short scan times of less than two seconds with a "normal" scan resolution of 3468 x 2312 pixels. Interpolated, a maximum resolution of 4904 x 3268 pixels is even possible.

The enclosed holders enable the scanning of four framed slides with a thickness of up to 3.2 mm and of 35 mm film strips with up to six images. The holders ensure that the originals are perfectly flat and that the valuable film material is handled gently. As soon as slides or negative strips are inserted into the scanner using the holder, they can be viewed and selected immediately on the display, whereby negatives are of course shown directly as positives. With a single push of a button, the images can be saved directly as a JPEG file on an SD card with up to 128GB. It is also possible to transfer the finished scans to a computer via the integrated USB 2.0 interface. The power is supplied via the supplied 5V / 1A power supply (mini USB).
