Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

1. Easy to use and reasonably good results. If the exposure of the original negative is good, then the result is also good. The adjustments will only help a little bit.
2. Scans 120 medium format, up to 6cmx9cm.
The bad:
1. NOT good for 135/35mm films. The image sensor is 20MP, so even my 6cmX6cm square 120 negative was only using 2/3 of it (about 12.7MP). If you use this scanner to scan 135/35mm film, you will ended up roughly 5MP in total. You can only get the full 20MP if you scan a 6cmX9cm 120 shot.
2. Grainy, yes the results are on the grainy side, but for my 120 films it's still acceptable on my 27" screen.
The concept is very good and very easy to use, however, I wish they built it with a better image censor.

I own a Plustek OpticFilm 35mm scanner, but it can't handle medium format film. I had hoped that, even with the anticipated low quality of the Wolverine scanner, it might produce acceptable images from the much larger negatives.
The quality of the images reminds me of what we were able to get from the Sony Mavica. This was the early digital camera that recorded low-resolution, low-quality photos with a great deal of artifacting. The quality was barely acceptable back then. Now it's unforgivable.
So is the Wolverine FD2 Saturn good for anything? Maybe, if you understand and are willing to accept the shortcomings.
It is a clever device because it's really not a traditional film scanner. Instead, it has what's probably the equivalent of a smart-phone digital sensor. Instead of waiting 30 to 90 seconds for a traditional scanner to process the image, the Wolverine captures the image instantly and displays it on a small screen. Pressing one more button writes the image file to the device's internal memory or to a secure digital card.
(1) That's where the process falls apart. Instead of processing the image as a lossless TIFF or even writing it as a high-quality JPEG image, the scanner writes and incredibly small file. When I scanned a 645-format image, the resulting file was just 2MB. The manufacturer claims the maximum scanning resolution is 4600 samples per inch, so the image should have been approximately 11,500 pixels by 8300 pixels and the expected file size would be more than 20MB and the dimensions were 5164 x 3876.
(2) The smaller physical file size would still have created a highly usable image if the manufacturer had chosen not to use such extreme downsampling that creates horrid artifacting. A 10MB JPEG would have virtually no visible artifacting. As a result of poor design choices, the images are fuzzy.
(3) Most people who purchase a device such as this will want it for 35mm negatives and slides. How well does it work there? It's even worse. The scanned image was 5480 pixels by 3652 pixels. That's about 2600 samples per inch, which is higher than the setting I generally use on the Plustek scanner. That device can scan at 7200 SPI, but doing so takes more than one minute per slide. I usually use the 1800 SPI setting on the Plustek because that drops the scan time to about 30 seconds.
(4) The Plustek can also save files in lossless TIFF format, which is what I use. At 1800 SPI, the quality of an image saved as a TIFF far exceeds that of the Wolverine's higher resolution coupled with the extremely lossy JPEG format.
(5) The Wolverine's artifacting loses all fine detail.

Make sure you wipe the scanner with the included brush so there's no dust in your scans, easy to use and fast, you manually feed slides in one side and they push thru to the other side. You can adjust ev and color if you want before you scan. Scans as fast as you can insert slides or negatives. Scans to full size SD card.
Needed to scan hundreds of slides for small prints and the web. The Wolverine is really quick and the scans are ok to quite good.
Scanned 300 roll film negatives in an afternoon.
They look good for prints up to 8x10.
Is it a high end drum scanner? Nope. Does it cost $15000?. Nope.
Glad I bought it.
Depends on your needs.
Top reviews from other countries
Had to buy this one because all the other models I have are only for 35mm rectangular size slides or negs. You can put in the 35mm square slides that get cropped with the smaller units and it does not crop the pictures.
I had hundreds of BW 120 full size negatives and a few even larger. This should work well but there was no tray included that fit the 120 height. It only fit in the horizontal direction. So I had to modify one of the trays and cut the opening wider on both sides. Then it would fit my 120 negatives. it still required cropping to remove a large scanned area around each picture.
Cropping. Every picture scanned required massive cropping during editing. The scanner has a large number of scanned pixels, 5480x3652. So there is plenty to crop.
There are some color and brightness adjustments available during scanning. After a while you get kind of used to the two-handed clicking for every picture. However when comparing color balance to my two other scanners I find that even though the pictures have color and high resolution, I often found the color tints unacceptable. Generally I would say it has good high contrasts but a bit weak for a smooth gradiation in the midtones.
This scanner has a counter that numbers each scan. It never resets back to zero and this is good. No duplicate numbers in case you are moving photos to the same directory later.
I always scanned to SD cards and never tried the internal memory that uploads to the computer. I did try using the built in screen, and I also tried using the HDMI link to a HD TV. The external link would be nice if you had to show several people the photos. Eventually I got used to looking at the small monitor because the controls were nearby in the same view and I did not have to move my head to look at two different things.
Am I happy with the purchase? A bit expensive, but at least this box of negs is digitized and the plastics are now in the garbage. Satisfied yes.
UPDATE a few weeks later...
I decided to go back and rescan some 35 mm negatives I had scanned years ago on a cheap $80 scanner. After scanning about a hundred negs I compared the scans from the two units. Not even one scan done on this expensive model came close to matching the quality of scan I already had. Contrast was observed to be either too much blacks and too much lights or just missing the midtones altogether. I have no reason why a scanner should produce the blacks heavily and also the whites but not much gradience in between. So I am upgrading my review and saying that if you can use the smaller but cheaper units available you should do that as this unit is only for the desperate people who need larger format scans. But don't expect great results. I had to remove one star from my previous rating after the most recent tests.
