Great bargain!
Very nice product for the money. Stainless steel chassis means it should last a long time. Two bulbs provide more even light thatn single bulb units and color rendition is very good. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a ledge to prevent transparencies from sliding off the viewing surface when it is slanted.

Nice item
I am using this as a light source for slide viewing and for slide copying. I am converting old slides to digital. The box is my sorting/viewing aid. I then use the diffuse light as a source to copy them using a Canon 100mm macro lens(with a slide holder I made). Good color rendition simply using AWB. This items does triple duty for me.

Great product at a great price!
I am very pleased with the quality of this product. It is built well and has great lighting. I use it to trace designs for use in ceramics, and it is perfect. I was able to trace a photo of mine that was printed on heavy weight photo paper (onto everyday printer paper) with no problems at all. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

Works good, needs a little improvement
It works good, but needs small improvements.
I replaced the 4 screws that hold the white plastic,with stainless steel ones ( they won't corrode and look good with the case. I put small lengths of silicone rubber tubing on the tilt wire, where the wire touches the table to keep it from scatching the table and it won't slide off. I glued a 1/4" thick strip of plexiglass to the bottom of the white plastic to keep the slides from falling off the plastic when the unit is tilted.

Great for Registering Artwork
I originally purchased it to register front and back artwork that I use for photoresist metal etching. Also great for sorting slides.

A great value...
If you're looking for a small, portable and rugged transparency viewer, this is it. Tuck it under your arm, or put it into a computer bag to take it with you. The light is very even, eliminating the need to reposition slides when viewing them. There are two viewing positions (slightly angled and flat). I appreciate the flat position when sorting stacks of slides; the stacks don't topple over.
