Gagne 1118-2C Reviews
Gagne 1118-2C Review by Richard Jacobson "Mister Miyagi" (Nashville, TN)
The construction is a very sturdy, no-frills kind of thing which is just fine with me. I just didn't want one of those flimsy plastic "craft project" lightboxes. I need something that'll hold up to a lot of use, the brighter, the better, as I'm tracing onto 100lb vellum bristol board. And this sucker is BRIGHT. And it doesn't get ridiculously hot either. So yeah... It's pretty-much awesome.
Gagne 1118-2C Review by El Sobrante Greg
The light table works well for reviewing 35mm slide images (by the way this is the stuff before digital photography). This model has two corrected lamps and it provides for nice, bright, even illumination across the face of the white plastic top surface.
The white plastic top surface on the top edge, on one side was a little rough, and it seems after they cut the plastic to size they neglected to sand this edge free of jagged edges; for this reason I downgrade it to four stars. Sure it doesn't affect the function on the light table but for something costing the better part of a $100, one would expect better quality; if I were running Quality Control at Gagne, I would have rejected the plastic top.
It should be noted that because the stainless steel walls need to be bent over to form a flat surface on which to mount the white plastic top, one loses about 1/4" at each edge, so don't mislead yourself like I did thinking I could place slides all the way to the edge of the table and expect these slides to be well illuminated.
The wire stand that rotates and tilts the far side of the table up at an angle works well and helps viewing the slides without bending over the table.
Included with the light table is an approximately 1/4" wide x 10" long plastic strip that has adhesive on the backside and can be affixed to the lower edge of the white plastic top, so the slides will not slip off when the table is used in the inclined position.
This is nice, but since the table is 18" wide and the strip 10" long only the slides in the center portion of the table will be supported. Thus the slides at either side of the plastic strip will slide off if the table is accidentally bumped while viewing the slides. They should have included a plastic strip that was about 17" long, not 10" long, to be completely functional.
Overall this is a nice light table for 35mm slide reviewing, and it does work well, however the big price differential between this 11" x 18" model and the next smaller size (I believe 10" x 16") which is around $60 or so, makes me wonder if it is worth the extra $25 dollars just to gain a few inches in the size of the viewing table.
Gagne 1118-2C Review by Stuart Floyd (Cohoes, NY)
As with the smaller brother to this unit I feel it works well, provides great lighting for working with film negatives of all types, slides and photos. It doesn't get nearly as hot as the older boxes and the lights usually last for a long time and aren't cheap to replace but that should be expected with such products like this. All in all a good size, not heavy at all and easy to use and really does help when working with anything you need the light to view or work with.
