Hama Fine Art Jumbo Album 30x30cm

Got 2 of these to stick photos in. Cover lovely, but I did have to send one back and replace as spine slightly crushed. No problem there, they just sent out straight away replacement. Black paper is not really thick, but I didn't mind as photos made them more solid. Crepe paper between absolutely lovely. I used sticking tabs which adhered well and I could actually get them off if I hadn't got photos straight enough with no damage to paper. Bought white pens to write on black paper, did a few test runs under photo placement to make sure they could be used. They were ok and no smudging. I could fit 4 photos of each paper - 2 portrait, 2 landscape. I had to cut photos if wanted all landscape on a page, but that was half the fun, filling the scrapbook, working out where to place photos and writing. One book is now full. It looks spectacular. Front page where you can slot in a photo is a bit naff and fiddly (thin plastic, not glass. I may update and make this better. However, for the price I love them. They look very classy.... Will buy more...

I had planned to send this back as I thought the paper wasn't strong enough. However, I didn't and it seems fine after all. The outside was a little bit marked with the odd glue streak or something- not badly though. It does look lovely and have a large capacity. I am using it for all the odd sized photos that don't fit the pocket style albums. I might have preferred black paper inside, which was a bit more expensive. I do recommend it, I searched for good value large albums and it fits the bill for traditional style ones. Remember you need to get photo corners or use glue and it will take a bit longer than other types of album. There are glassine leaves between pages to protect the photos.

Did the job

Great for present I bought 2 of them.

As in Speckled Hen's review I was after an album with black pages to display black and white photos (from the early 1900's). An inherited album had deteriorated badly and I wanted something to display the photographs sympathetically with traditional corner mounts and personalised handwritten captions. It was a struggle to find a suitable one which met the criteria. Black pages were a must and not too easy to find amongst all the self adhesive or white options. A large number of pages also. Most of the photos were printed as postcards and an average of three per page plus captions seemed like a reasonable aim. I would have preferred a slightly larger sized album to achieve this without overcrowding the pages but again there aren't too many options out there without paying over the odds so this was a compromise. For the price it's pretty good value and seems fairly well constructed. Wasn't sure about the window on the front at first but have customised it with the original owners photo plus caption and it works well. Each page has a narrow strip of card running down the inside edge (black to match) which helps with the way the album works open and closed. The cover is fairly stout and a pleasant burgundy colour (I wanted something sober and not garish looking) and this fits the bill. The pages also are a good thickness with a quality feel. The album arrived well packaged with no flaws. All in all very good value without paying a fortune.

Great old fashioned photo albums, I bought in past one of them just for trial,and was really great. Now I have bought 2,and for sure will be buying more in future

I needed an old fashioned sort of album to keep together a large number of ancient family photos which were in danger of getting damaged in the various boxes where they were living. I took a bit of a gamble on this album, as it seemed rather cheap, but it's actually very nice indeed. The paper is thick, I like the protective paper for each page, the cover seems sturdy, and I very much like how as the album has filled up it has not gone out of shape - with a lot of albums as the photos go in and the pages get 'thicker' the covers start to warp, and look unstable. This hasn't, and I have used nearly all the pages, with multiple photos on both sides of the pages, and with a lot of postcard-type photos and ones on those thin card mounts which I can't get off without damaging the photo. I am buying a second one to transfer all my old family photos into. Obviously you need to buy photo corners to place your pictures; and I bought the album with white pages so I could easily write next to each photo who, what, where and when. Excellent value for money, and seems to be very good quality.

After reading reviews, I thought I was getting a nice linen-covered photo album. Nooooo... the cardboard shows around the edges of the 'photo window' in the front of the book. The 'linen' could only be described as 'linen-look', and that by an optimist, I think it looks like vinyl or like it's loosely woven linen someone painted over with acrylics. It is so ugly (to me) that I chose to go out and buy another item to replace this with, something nice enough for my parents' anniversary book. I am sorry, I hate to write a bad review but I want to warn the next buyer. Though it arrived clean and well-packaged, it is not at all as nice as what I thought I had purchased.

Ne ho ordinati tre di colore rosso, sono bellissimi e fatti davvero bene! Consiglio vivamente

Yorumlara ve puanına güvenerek aldık. Kaliteli bir havası var, şık duruyor, güzel paketlenmiş bir şekilde elimize ulaştı. Yüzlerce fotoğrafı aldı bu anlamda çok iyi bir eleştirim olacak çünkü bu durum beni çok rahatsız etti. Koca albüme fotoğrafları tek tek yapıştırdık ceza gibi gerçektende o kadar parayı sana vereceğime bir dosya alır ortasına yüz tane A4 kağıt koyar hallederdim bu işi hemde 100 lira masrafım olmazdı. Böyle bir albüm yapıyorsan fotoğrafları tutacak bir yapışkanlı sistemin olacak. Biz yapıştırıyoruz beğenmedik yerini değiştireceğiz kağıt yırtıyor korkunç bir durum. Yani tavsiye eder miyim bilemem.

Album de qualité, beaucoup de place, très beau. Super chouette avec le petit espace pour insérer une photo de couverture
