One of Maplin's most innovative products brings your long-forgotten neagtives and pictures to life by converting them to digital.

  • Transfer your old 35mm negatives and slides onto your PC with this easy to use compact film scanner
  • Store upload and email images to friends and family
  • Scan colour or monochrome film and mounted slides (either as singles or in strips)
  • Convert negatives to colour images and crop and edit them for a perfect picture.
  • One of the fastest scanners available
  • 35mm film strip and mounted slide
  • Simple one button scanning
  • High speed scan and preview (0.5sec), conventional film scanner (over 1 minute)
  • Easy to share, copy and print anytime from PC or hand copy print
  • Ensures you never lose image quality once converted to digital files
  • Spare film & slide holders are available (N74GU & N75GU)

Today''s digital world is easy: point, press and download. In the rush to take the next picture, we have forgotten that it did not always use to be like this. Instead of SD cards and USB drives, it was all Instamatic and waiting a week for the holiday snaps to be returned. We all have negatives of those old birthday parties, christenings and Christmases gathering dust in draws and attics. Unfortunately, that''s where they will remain and rot for most people, and with that, your memories will disappear. The negative film scanner allows you not only to hold on to those memories but bring them into the 21st Century. You can email them to friends and family, upload them on to the web or simply store them on your hard drive or disc - safe in the knowledge your memories are protected. The one downside is that the old photo of you in those flares or with those enormous side burns, once secure in your cupboard, can now be seen by billions online. Perhaps some memories are best kept secret... forever!

Customer Reviews on this Product
Dan (04/10/2009)

this item is a great gadget

Alan (20/08/2009)

This works well scanning negatives when I eventually got it working on my Windows XP computer, the problem is the drivers, so did a search and found them here External link removed. The link can be requested via our technical department directly you need the one for XP only (FS-C1-VP). I also used an earlier version of Photo Impression6. I hope this is of help to many who have failed to get it running properly.
