If you’ve got a box full of old film transparencies you’ll likely need some way of sorting through them and lightboxes of old can be cumbersome and expensive.
The SV-2 from Photolux in the UK, and sold under the brand name Zuma in the US, aims to offer a solution to this problem as it’s a very lightweight and portable handheld slide viewer you can easily use from the comfort of your sofa. Note that it only has a 2x magnification and has no ability to scan your slides, so depending on what you wish to do after you’ve made your initial image cull, this product may not be the most suitable for your needs. Unlike the SV-3 which is pretty much better and bigger (literally!) in every way, the SV-2 doesn’t support negative film pass-through so it’s no good if you have boxes full of negative strips.
