I rated 4 stars even the quality is Reasonable only It is difficult to define the image quality since 8mm films by default are low quality especially with old films after lying in a closet 40-50 years and not in a good in condition. The Wolverine 8mm creates output files I'm glad that I can watch my old films that are important to me on a computer or a TV. It's very convenient for me to watch the movies without the need for a dark room and movie projector.

It is very time consuming converting 8mm into digital format but the results are reasonably good. Quality of the picture has a lot to do with the camera's and film of the day and the picture quality has deteriorated over time. Happy with the Wolverine though and it has been working well so far. I probably would have gone with the next model up to have the increased speed option. Reel size is an issue also as th Wolverine will only take up to 5" reels.

I had a little glitch with it in the beginning. The really sticky lubricant they use on the rubber belt to creat tension to keep the film tight on the take up reel got into the film advance mechanism and caused flutter and shake in the movie. It got so bad at times that it actually stalled the mechanism. I took the back cover off and liberally lubricated the mechanism with plastic compatible oil and after a brief work in period the unit works much better!! I've done about 20 home movie conversions so far and have about 30 more to do and I am very pleased with the results. The unit is a little pricey but once the bugs ( that really shouldn't be there for the cost of the thing) are worked out. It's a good unit.

Got this to digitize really old family films. I have both 8mm and Super 8 film so this fit be bill because it easily handles either with the slide if a switch. Like everyone complains about, the unit is slow taking about 30 minutes for a small film BUT when I see the price for professional digitization, I’ll put up with the slow, plodding recording! You can also adjust the frame for recording so you don’t see any of the square holes/feed holes in the finished version. My films are old with some fading and degradation so I can’t really say how good the colors are reproduced. The one thing I really don’t like is it only has the ability to handle the small reels or the 5 inch ones. I, unfortunately, have two larger reels, (7 inch I think) and this can’t handle those. I’m not sure how I’m going to get those done. Not only that but it will take forever to digitize those! Anyway, overall, it does the job I need it to do.Read full review

I’m happy with the results. The quality of the pictures are determined by the quality of the film. Most of my films were in rough shape, but at least now I can watch them again without having to fool with the old projector! You can edit your video with one of the many editing apps that are out there. The machine is very fragile feeling for the price. The rewind feature is slow and weak. Summary: It works fine It’s easy to use It’s expensive (to me) It’s fragile
