Epson v500 - how to scan APS Negatives? I just got this scanner and it works great with Slides and 35MM negatives. The problem I have is getting it to scan APS negatives. I have gotten the negatives out of the cartridge and have tried to scan them using the film/negative holder - they do not fit in the slot for film. I tried scanning them "as is" on the glass without a holder and no luck. I do not want to cut the negatives - I tried just letting the spool run out the front of the scannner and manually positioning the film. I unchecked thumbnails and tried to follow the user guide to no avail. Any one have any luck with scanning APS negatives? Epson v500 - how to scan APS Negatives?

I just set up the scanner and can't get it to recognize film, though it scanned photos beautifully...

This printer is provided specifically with tools which allow easy scanning of 35MM slides and film. No tooling is provided for other sizes. Although I supposeyou could rig up something. I mean if it can handle 35mm slides, then somehow it should be able to handle 4x5 negatives. Sorry for not having a more definitive answer for you.

I am looking at the V500 compared to the 4490. Any suggestions? The reviews all rave about the V500 for slides and negatives, which I too plan to scan, but I also have many old photos.

Hi Jay, I have to say I'm puzzled as that is not what I experienced when I have scan negatives. You are not scanning slides are you? I have tried that. I'm sorry if I am not much of a help.

Michael, it includes (or did when I got mine) the negative holder for medium format negatives, and the software may auto recognize the frames. In general, you will end up having to use the full driver to acquire the image, but since you were acquiring from a better source to begin with, you would want to use the full driver anyway.Be sure to dust the negative and the scanner before starting, as the dust removal works to some extent, but you want clear images, so take the extra time to clean the hardware and image first.

I ordered an Epson V600 last night - it is supposed to do any size negatives and b&w; ones.... I hope it works!!

Hello, yes you can scan medium format! Also, i would suggest downloading Vue Scan to scan your negatives rather than using Epson Scan (the program that comes with the scanner) because it makes a huge difference. The white balance is a little wonky, but that's easily fixed in photoshop. I feel like epson scan sort of made my medium format scans (and my scans in general) look pretty crappy, so i highly recommend using vue scan, especially if you are using medium format and want to retain as much of the quality as possible. Hope this was helpful!

Mine will only scan negatives. There is one out there that also does slides but this one isn't it. Unless you want to take your slides out of their cardboard holders and scan them as negatives.

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

Hi Maureen, I was pondering the same thing and went to the Epson website and scoured for this information. Included in the V-300 page is a "what's in the box" section that says an adapter is included for holding negatives and Mounted Slides. The same thing holds true for the v-330 as well. Hope this helps. Great question to ask as I am sure no one wants to have to deal with getting rid of frames around the actual slide.

I have lots of 110 negatives and unfortunately I could not scan them. I tried sliding them in and holding in place, but it wouldn't work for me. But it works great on 35's.

I am not completely sure on that question. I have not used this for negatives as of yet. But on the box it says "scan slides and negative, including medium format". I'm not sure if the 120 negatives you are referring to are considered medium format. If they are, then I suppose this answers your question. If not, sorry I could not be of more assistance.

Sorry - 35 mm slides, negative, mounted 110MM slides, and 110 negatives only. You probably need to go to a flatbed scanner that's designed to handle the larger stuff. That's what I ended up doing.

. Logon to www.ionaudio.com, Select Quick Start Guide, v1.4 and find SCANNING YOUR IMAGES starting at the bottom of pg. 5. On pg. 6 you will find:6. Press the Film Type button to select the film type that you are using:135 positive (slide)135 negative135 black & white110 negative126 negativeThis information is NOT in the paper Quick Start Guide that comes with the scanner I bought but only in the website Guide.Rather than ask AMAZON.com, always check the vendors website or call their Customer Service Dept. They are very helpful.

Pana-Vue remote scanner will scan 35mm negatives & transparencies. With proper add-ons will copy 126 negatives and 110 negatives. It will not accept anything larger. So-3" pieces of film are definitely not going to work. I wish they would. I have some old black & white large format negatives that I cannot copy.

I'm sure either one will do a pretty good job for you. Fwiw, I purchased the Epson v500 for the simple reason that it has ICE Technology which does an absolutely amazing job of cleaning all sorts of debris/artifacts/dust et al from both slides and negatives. The hours I've saved not having to hand manipulate each image are numerous to say the least. This was the second time I've had to scan my full slide collection after the first set (over 500) was wiped out by a virus. This time was MUCH easier w/ the V500. Also, the quality of the scan improved a great degree so maybe the virus was a blessing in disguise afterall :-) Btw, I had no problem whatsoever setting it up on my Dell Vista OS. YMMV ... Cheers and good luck !

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!
