Will I be able to scan my 127 Superslides (40MM) with this scanner? If not, do you have a model that can scan that size?

The only way to scan 127 Superslides is to take them out of their mounts. It will scan up to 2" x 2" un-mounted.

I don't have the answer for that. I have done a lot of 35mm slides and a few pictures with the ION SD photo machine and it works great. I don't have any superslides that are 40mm so I can't answer that question either. i was able to put old pictures on an sd card and also on my computer. I am very happy with the results I got from this. I would buy it again.

Patricia--you are a life-saver! Thanks so much for taking the time to put together your tutorial. I've been paying between 75 cents and $1 each to scan my Dad's slides. With over 1,500 more to go this is definitely more cost effective. I had an HP scanner that supposedly did slides but the results were nothing like what you are able to get on your 4400.

D. Fisher, Thanks very much for your response. I've copied your posting on batch scanning and will follow it. I'm just starting to use the V750 to scan my Hassy negs and your information is of great help. --E. Williams

I, too, have the old, old, old large negatives from the early 1900s through 1960s - most are B&W; - that I want to scan. Will this scanner do those? I had purchased a PanDigital Photo/Negative Scanner, but it would only do 35mm negatives, so I sent it back. I really need to know if this will do the old old old b&w; negatives that are big?

It does scan mounted slides beautifully. I just got this scanner yesterday and have been busy scanning years old family slides. All of mine are mounted in cardboard frames. A very slight learning curve to scan slides (or else I had my stupid hat on yesterday) but I'm happy with my results so far.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

When you scan slides or negatives on this scanner, it defaults to certain pre-set sizes that you can select via configuration. It does a good job of recognizing images of pre-set size. For odd sizes where you don't have a preset, you need to turn off the thumbnail function and manually select the images. But this is not hard, and if you're editing in say photoshop, getting the selection accurate is not that important.

Thank you for your quick reply. What about the MF4690? I posted a similar question regarding that one. It seems much newer. Does it happen to have a function that somehow supports duplex scanning, without having to *manually* re-order the pages?

I no longer have this scanner. I seem to remember the scanning bed to be about 8.5 x 12.25I now have a CanoScan N 650U (very similar) and that is the size of its bed.Not sure if it actually scans all the way to the edges.

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.

It will scan just about everything. You need select the advanced menu if your stuff is odd sized. I have scanned odd sized slides, the old style film strips, negatives of odd size as well. there are some trade offs- since it only comes with the 3 presized holders, it is a bit finicky, but it works.

Good Morning Frank. I have not tried to scan slides yet, still working on scanning a zillion old photos. On the photo scanning side, the Wolverine works great, very straight forward, a quick scan to a memory card, good quality. With a half page scanning window, extra large photos, like class picture/wide angle photos cannot be scanned - don't have many of those. Reading instructions, Wolverine scans one slide at a time.Hope this helps. Tom

Sorry I can't answer that question as I never used it to scan slides. Everything else scans beautifully, though.

The scanner is capable of scanning them, the problem is you will need to make a special holder for the negatives. 126 slides are no problem.

Wish I could tell you. I own the Neat Portable scanner myself. Wonder if the dimensions are closely related. If so, then there shouldnt be a problem.

I recently used my scanner to scan some older negatives (from 1958) that were larger than 35 millimeter film. Just laid it on the glass surface and it worked fine. Had 2 negatives that were badly curled, so I held 2 edges down with thin flat pieces of plastic~ this worked great also.

I'm also interested in scanning bulky books. This scanner sounds good because it's fast. The film/slide capability would be a great bonus, but fast book scanning and OCR are my priorities. One big question is whether or not the lid can be removed. Another Canon model only accommodates media up to 1 inch thick. Meanwhile, I have found the Plustek Opticbook 3600, designed _specifically_ for book scanning. So other book scan fans should take a look at this one.
