does this convert the negative to a positive image for viewing?

I just got the viewer a couple of days ago and have only viewed slides so far. Haven't tried negatives yet

It is best for viewing 35mm slides. I've never tried it to view negatives. This device illustrates the old adage "you get what you pay for".

when you scroll though the main menu you will see a setting for color negatives, slides, and B/W negatives. as each one appears it should which one it is.

Hi Judy - it is a slide scanner, so you would need to mount the negative into 35mm format, and have software that could interpret the monochrome images. Better to go to a photographic company I suggest and have it done there. Also the device doesn't work with modern OS.

Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

I haven't tried black and white negatives but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. As I have said to others, the best results for this unit are scanning actual prints. This unit will scan negatives at 1200 dpi but there may be better negative scanners out there. This is a great unit for scanning a large pile of prints to an SD card at a low cost (still very time consuming).

Yes, once negatives are transferred digitally they are on the hard drive. From there you can load them on a DVD (which would More than a CD) or leave them on an external drive. The product does work as it is described.

no it does not. I have some of the larger glass slides. It converts larger prints but not negatives or slides.

The image shown on the preview screen is positive for both b&w negs and colour negs...the colour negs show in true colour. The definition of the pics when scanned is very dependent on the quality of the image on the negative, it can fall short of perfect anyway but the only true way of getting the best out of a negative is in the dark room. Having said that the scanner does a good job overall for a relatively cheap price.

I used it to look at old individual slides surrounded by cardboard and it worked well. I have not tried it on 35mm negative strips.

No software is included. I haven't tried converting negatives yet, so I am not sure how they work.

It does have the slot for negatives but like another customer mentioned, if the negative has a slight bend it will not feed through. I bought this primary for looking at slides and found that trying to look at negatives was frustrating. I don't know what is out there for negatives other then a light box. Wish I had a better answer for you. Good luck in finding something.

No , monitors have nothing to do with image reversing. It displays only what is coming from the camera . You should buy a camera that has reversing image capability .

Just a few. The negative is placed in the scannet & is viewed. Then saved on the memory or memory card.

It would depend on the scope. If you have a refractory or Newtonian reflector, the image would be inverted.

I had not worked with negative film until I read your question, so I got out a strip of 35mm color negatives and put it in the scanner. After selecting "negative film", I looked at the first negative on the strip, and discovered that the image looked exactly like previous slide images had looked! There is no additional external software with the scanner, but conversion from negative to positive is built into the internal conversion program. What you see in the scanner viewer looks like a small print. Transferred to the computer, you wouldn't know whether the image came from a slide or a negative. To me, this makes the conversion process even more simple. (Any manipulation you may want to do after getting the images onto your computer can of course be done with any of a number of different image processing programs.) Hope that helps!

no, it doesn't automatically do anything.I would say that if negative is reversed it have to be flipped over so the shiny side of negative or slide faces up. there is also a option in the menu to flip the image if needed.

I don't think this scans negatives. There are other ones out there that can do that.
