KLIM K2 Mobile Film Scanner 35mm - Positive & Negative, Slide and Photo Scanner - 35mm Film Developing Kit Essential - Your own Developing Service at Home - Orange

Absolutely fantastic product. I was a bit dubious with the cheap price compared to some other products I've seen, ie a kodak scanner, but it does the job. Very easy to use, free to use and no subscriptions. It's lovely to see older generations photos and really brings back lovely memories. Really made up with this.

Excellent for the price. We have been scanning slides. The quality is good and the scanner is simple to use.

Great little product nicely packaged and good quality construction, very easy to use to to achieve excellent results on the 60 odd year old negatives that I processed.

This is extremely misleading as it CANNOT be used with an IPhone 15 and possibly other iPhones. I did notice someone with an iPhone 13 also had the same issue. The platform is simply too close to the slide and hence the resultant image is totally blurred. In order to achieve the correct focal length you need to place the box (60mm tall) that the ‘scanner’ came in on top of the stage and voila a perfectly focused image. The problem with that is this now make shift platform is not sturdy and not perfectly parallel and so defeats completely the reason for spending my hard earned cash on the system in the first place. You shouldn’t have to ‘Heath Robinson it’ to get a result that is advertised within the product description and the included instructions. Maybe this was developed for very old iPhones as they even provide the ability to bring the stage even closer to the slide box. As for the free software, you get better results and editing options with the iPhone camera app. Essentially the only thing that works is the light bulb that illuminates the slide. Also, the ‘recess’ for the 35mm slide, it does not secure the slide in any fashion whatsoever. This purchase was a complete waste of time and effort and now I need to start all over again to find a product that does what it says on the tin.

Well built and looks professional. The light table works well and 35 mm slides appear bright when viewed direct. However, the focal length of my iPhone 13 is far too long and it cannot achieve focus when placed on the top of the unit as advertised (even though it is advertised as compatible with all phones). I have to hold it some 5cm higher in order to get focus, at which point the light has lost its intensity and the optical quality of the image due to zooming in is much poorer. I would return it as useless, but the quality of the direct image makes it worthwhile mounting my normal camera on a tripod and zooming in to the original image for a high quality picture.

It wasn’t expensive so I wasn’t expecting much. What arrived was this device in Apple iPhone quality packaging. I was stunned and I’d not put it together yet! It was easy to assemble using the amusing instructions sheet and installed the batteries (comes with batteries at this price, amazing). Tried it with my iPhone 13 mini and this is where it failed. My phone won’t focus close enough, maybe yours will. I didn’t downgrade it from 5* as I have an old iPhone 7 which focussed OK. I scanned my slides and the results were brilliant, worthy of a 6”x4” (150mm x 100mm) print. If I wanted a larger print I would need a better resolution than my iPhone 7 gave me but hey it was good enough as far as I was concerned. These people sound like a good crowd and made a good product for an amazing price. I’d buy from them again, just be aware your phone needs to focus down to 4” (100mm).

Inexpensive product which works well. Simple concept - and stand to mount a phone above an illuminated window such that you can rake photos of the slide thus displayed. The documentation suggest you should use their App to scan the slides, but it comes with an expensive subscription so I didn't use it, and got good results with the phone utilities. We'll worth the money.

The key information is that this is a solid, well made little device and it comes in very nicely packaged. The base is a mini lightbox for 35mm film and mounted slides. Film can be fed through a slot and individual mounted slides can be placed in a little holder that sits above the film feeder. This part of it gets five stars. The part that gets four stars is the phone platform that sits over the lightbox. The device comes with a choice of two sets of legs of different heights to hold the phone platform. This is to accommodate phones that focus at different minimum distances, I think. The only problem is that while this platform is quite solid, it's not rock solid, so care needs to be taken to avoid camera shake. Probably best to use the self timer in the supplied app to release the shutter. The app itself is OK, if a little fiddly to use in my experience. Also, it tries to upsell various add-on features and pops up mini ads from time to time. When photographing slides, I think I'd prefer to use the Android camera app and I don't think I'd try to digitize a large collection of images using this set-up. That said, its key feature is its portability: you can take it anywhere to copy a few images from slides / film strips belonging to friends etc. Perhaps a future version will provide a rock-solid phone platform, ideally, that would be one with adjustable-height legs and a clamp to hold the phone in place (the provided magnet didn't work with my phone and phone case). Hope the above didn't sound negative. The device is well made and worth the money for the lightbox alone and I suspect that I shall use it mainly as such (i.e. without the phone stand) and simply place it under a camera on a copy stand.
