Well I pretty much use it to clean anything with glass even my mirror n works just fine. Just make sure u wipe it right when u spray the surface so it don't leave any smudges cause it dries kind of quick.

If its just dust or removable particles, u can use it. if there are scratches etc., than of course it is not helpful

I would NOT use it to clean photographic slides. Instead, look at all of the answers coming from a simple Google search of "what should i use to clean slides" such as at: <https://www.google.com/search?q=what+should+i+use+to+clean+slides>. I personally use PEC-12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner liquid & pads and have had good results.

I'm not sure. It doesn't leave streak marks, however it take a couple wipes to clean the lens. The surface is a little tougher so using it with a slide, you have to take into account how thin those are and how hard you have to wipe it with causing any scratches.

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've used mine for that purpose. You will probably still need a cleaner for whatever you're trying to remove.

Yes, but like I said previously it does a much better job with negatives than slides. Slides come out so so and need some adjusting with Photoshop.

Don't know. It doesn't take good images. I bought a scanner. Haven't tried it with slides yet.

I have used silicon spray on slide boards I've had in the past, and it would restore it good as new. I just got this board, so can't say whether that would work for this one.

Probably not. there some sites that print or convert those slides to dvd. Costco might do it for you too

No, Kathleen, your slides won't be damaged in any way and this scanner does a good job. I was real satisfied with the negatives I scanned also and glad I ordered the negative carriers when I ordered the slide carriers.

I would not attempt to clean slides with this material. The emulsion side of the slide is very vulnerable to scratches, especially when wet. I would a fine micro-fiber material and not try to over clean the slide.

If you have an old one, just use that. if this is a new item for you, then not sure. trial and error I guess. Sorry not much help.

I would assume yes. I used it for DVD cleaning. However. I cleaned approx 10 dvd's and it malfunctioned. The wheels just continually spin and it is not cleaning any longer. I my self was disappointed.

I have only used this for slides. I am not aware of a feature that converts photos.

Haven't used to convert slides. Used for old photos. We converted enough photos to put a High School year book to shame. Fast, convenient, and good quality. Very simple to use. Only problem with photos are the 8X10 and larger. Don't use for that. Stand alone or computer connection makes this thing great. Buy another micro SD though. Hope this helps.

Joyce, that's exactly what I used it for. We had a box of unmarked slides and I was able to go through them to decide what to keep etc. it's nothing fancy. Jut plastic, hold it up to your eye. Lol. Hope that helps.

Don't think so. You'd have to use something like an Android stick to run the slide show. That does work very well.

I've scanned 35mm slides and negatives that were more than 30 years old with out any problems. much better than scanning a old photo.
