| Just What I Needed | 2010-08-30 | 5 / 5 |
|
| After inheriting boxes and boxes of slides in carousels, my husband and I were determined to sort through them. Not only was setting up the projector and screen an inconvenience, but extracing from the carousel the few slides we wanted to keep was difficult. Many years ago we had a single slide viewer but it was misplaced in a move. This slide viewer was not much different than the old viewer except it seemed so much brighter. Looking at nearly 3000 slides and sorting them was a breeze with the Pana-Vue #2. I also purchased the transformer to eliminate the need for batteries and frequent battery replacement. I look forward to using the Pana-Vue as I work through another large slide project. |
| Why I Know This Is a Good Product | 2010-07-31 | 5 / 5 |
|
| I know this a good product. I own one. I bought it in Viet Nam in 1969 and am still using it. It takes 2 batteries which last forever. One reviewer is correct in his criticism and the picture of the product is misleading. The slide is lighted in the back of the product, not projected in the front of it as depicted in the picture. I still give it 5 stars because it is simple and does what it is designed to do. |
| Great to review slides | 2010-07-19 | 4 / 5 |
|
| The Pana-Vue is an excellent product for reviewing slides. While a bit small, it provides a clear and bright picture to view. It's well worth the price. I purchased it to view and select slides to be saved from a large batch of about 600. |
| Decent no-frills slide viewer. | 2010-06-15 | 3 / 5 |
|
| The Pana-Vue #2 is a decent no-frills slide viewer that offers the ability to view slides but does not offer a lot of functionality. The specs at the time of my purchase indicated Product Features of: * 2X magnification on 1 7/8" screen with folding stand. My unit did not come with a stand. The illumination provided by 2 AA batteries isn't really enough to provide the viewer with a good clear image but is sufficient for those who need to pre-view a number of slides prior to scanning them into a digital archive. You can evidently buy an A/C adapter/transformer for this unit but at nearly $20 shipped, I question the value of that investment. There are other models out there that likely deliver more bells and whistles. For basic needs, this viewer does an acceptable job. It is made of plastic and will likely break easily if dropped onto a hard surface. It's cheaply made and some what cheaply priced. |
| Perfect for a quick review of slides | 2010-06-08 | 5 / 5 |
|
| It was a perfect viewer to view old slides that I am considering converting to photos, I was able to review a large amount quickly, it isn't the right medium to share slides for viewing but that isn't the reason I chose to purchase it, it worked well and was inexpensive. |
