    Simple to use, great product

    "I'm really happy with the quality of the iConvert scanner. VERY easy to use! Load the software, put three slides in the holder and scan. It is easy to get dust in the compartment that is scanning so a little care should be taken when reviewing the image on your PC screen to look for dust spots or tiny fibers. I think the quality is superb for such an easy product to use...." Read Full Review »
