It won't fit into the slide adapter, which holds 4 slides and is backlit. Placing slides directly on the platen without backlighting, all you'll get is a dark scan of the slide, you won't be able to see the image.

I have a Kodak Carousel projector. My grandparents had a bunch of slides in cardboard mounts enclosed in metal frames. I removed the metal frames and threw them away so the slides would fit in a Carousel tray.Are your slides mounted in cardboard with a metal frame around it? Get rid of that metal frame. You'll have a slide in a standard cardboard mount that should fit in the slide adapter.

If you've ever used one of those top-loaded Slide Viewers, it's pretty much the same. Slide goes in top slot, capture image, remove slide, and so on. Note other user comments about difficulty in removing slides. You really want to push them in firmly to avoid image cropping, which makes for a tight fit. I have had no problems removing slides but you may want to keep a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers handy.

I haven't had trouble with my magazines staying as long as you position them right. 12-18. More if you need. I like table.

I cannot get older slides with a larger mount to fit in the slide tray so I'm very disatisfied with this product. Trying to contact the company for another tray but so far no response. I would NOT rate this very high for my trouble!

4 pistol holders. Very good quality. The mag holders are small though will only hold so gel stack 1911 mags. it will not hold any double stack mags. I put them all in you pockets below the pistol row.

I dont think I upgraded the magazine holder for this. I'm trying to remember which one.....

I think you press the on button and then scroll through options. There is a single negative holder as opposed to the strip holder -- perhaps one slide at a time would fit into that, or could simply be slid into the slot from above, scanned like a negative, then pulled out. A typical slide is the same size as the negative holder. I have been working on negatives so far and have not yet tried slides myself, but that is what I will try when I get around to it. There is an instruction booklet that comes with the scanner, pretty basic but check it out again. Hope this helps a bit.

As below, the answer is yes, you will be able to scan your slides, 12 at a time when inserted into the slide holder that is one of the parts you will recieve with this scanner. You will have to remove the metal frames to insert the slides into the holder. I did 15,000 of my parents' slides. It took a long while, but DONE now.

No, it will hold only 2 mags. "Double stack" is referring to the magazine itself. It means that the magazine will hold 2 rows of cartridges inside of it - slightly offset (like most modern polymer guns), rather than one row of cartridges right on top of each other (like most 1911's and some smaller handguns). For instance your average full size 1911 .45 magazine will hold only 7 or 8 rounds right on top of each other from top to bottom, whereas a full size .45 Glock 21 magazine will hold 13 rounds because there are 2 rows next to each other. The drawback is that a gun with a double stack magazine generally has a larger grip to accommodate the larger magazine.

Yes, it accepts mounted 35mm 2"x2" slides. When the slide is inserted, the slide protrudes slightly from the slot so one can get a grip on it to remove it after viewing. To view the slide, just press down on the top edge of the slide and a spring allows it to lower into the slot and automatically illuminate the frosted screen behind the slide for viewing.

I do not use Hexmags. I use 30rd steel mags (M-16/AR-15) and load with a MagLULA Stripper loader. Of most mags I have seen regardless of construction, have a slot that this slides into a groove on each side on the back of the Magazine. It Slides down on the magazine in a vertical motion. The Hexagon Magazine looks like it has a slot on each side at the top to horizontally slide the Stripper mag onto the magazine.

No the slides are held in the plastic holder and are protected. I returned the device however because it didn't scan old faded images well. It would show a good version on the LCD, but the scan would be dark. I recently bought an Ion brand and it is much better.

I received 2 holders, both have 4 slots: 1 for SLIDES & 1 for standard 35mm negatives

It's actually advertised as user friendly for mounted, as well as unmounted, slides. That being said, I don't see how you could use it unless you were willing to cut each slide individually.... on top of that they would be loose in the tray lending themselves to the natural curve of the negative, which, if you ask me, would give you a distorted photo.... but, maybe not :)

I'm not familiar with what you want to scan, but I think the answer is yes. One of the carriers has two slots about 2 inches wide that run the length of the carrier, about 10 inches. I found a second slide carrier online that had an image of it so I was sure it was the right thing. I suggest you do a search for a carrier for the format you want to see if it is right.

Hi Daniel M. Why would you want to change when the film2sb has a slide holder as well. It is a seven inch long holder, just drop 25 or so slides into the chamber ( stacked ), then slide the holder to the right to engage the first slide to drop, slide to left to view on the screen, click "ok" if it looks good and ok again to capture on the provided memory 2gb card. Do the same process again to eject the chosen slide and continue as before. I captured 300 very old cardboard half frame mounts all on to the memory card. Each slide takes3 or 4 seconds. Do you have a slide handler as well as a film handler, the slide handler is normally with the unit. So very easy, I was amazed. Hi Daniel M.

No I fill the four openings in the holder making sure the correct side of the slide is up and that he "LID?" to the holder closes and clicks easily. Then I simply slide it in the scanner, in the right hand slot, and push, center them, digitize and then repeat for the next slide. I at this time have digitized over a 1000 slides and they all turned out great.
