Stand Alone Feature: Since the Wolverine F2D 35mm Film Scanner is a stand alone device, you do not need to plug it in on your computer or use a software for it to work. All you need to convert film images to digital images is to plug the film scanner in an AC wall unit (or a USB port) and push a button for it to work. The digital image will then be stored in a SD memory card. You can upload the pictures to your computer with the SD memory card or you can also use the Digital Picture Frame to view your pictures, which comes with the device.
Accessories: Upon purchase of the Wolverine F2D 35 mm film scanner, you will get the unit, a USB cable, slides cartridges, cleaner, AC power adapter, and 1 GB SD memory card (the memory card is a limited time promo).

The device is user friendly and you can convert your images fast and easy. Even if you are scanning an entire photo album, it won’t be much of a hassle and won’t take too much of your time.
Just like most inexpensive film scanners (the Wolverine F2D sells around $100-$150) in the market, professional photographers don’t find the quality of the converted images superb. Some users noted that the images are quite grainy and appear to be darker. The built in image viewer is also quiet small for you to appreciate the pictures. You will eventually have to load the SD memory card on your computer for a better and bigger view of your images.
