Matin ABS Plastic Slide Mounts Tray 35mm - 100pcs

Recommended bayer and item

Was wanting to digitise some old slides that were not in mounts. Chose these as they were glassless. Worked fine although a little fiddly getting the slide right in (they have a hinged panel and you need to fit the transparency slightly underneath to get it square. This can be difficult if the transparency has a slight bow in it (which it always has!).

35mm slide mounts used to be readily available and the film processors would include mounting in their tariffs. However, the supply then ceased. Slide mounts are available from Germany, very good quality bot extremely expensive. These Matin mounts should fulfill the requirements for the future.

Prompt delivery

I am very pleased with this purchase. The product arrived in excellent condition, carefully packaged, and exactly as described by the seller. All the items and components were included, leaving nothing missing. It is evident that the seller ensured quality and accuracy before dispatching the order. I truly appreciate the availability of this item, as it is now considered outdated and is no longer commonly sold. After searching extensively, I could not find it anywhere else, which makes this purchase all the more valuable. The seller’s effort in providing such rare and hard-to-find products is highly commendable. Overall, I am fully satisfied with both the product and the service. Thank you to the seller for delivering this item with such care and reliability.

I had been faithfully buying the GEPE version, but their unavailability thankfully made me choose the Matin version, which it turns out is superior in every way. The Matin is a hinged model, easy to open, and easy to set the transparency securely in place. The GEPE, which entails two separate pieces, is awkward, and more difficult to insert and set the slide properly, is clumsy to sandwich together, and then must be manipulated to ensure it has been secured properly. As someone with thousands of slides needing resetting due to a fungus attack, Matin makes the arduous job more efficient and pleasant.
