How many 35mm slides can be scanned at once?

The slider holder holds 12 slides and scans each slide one at a time. It takes a while to scan each one but the results are great.

Using the slide tray that is included with the scanner the number is twelve. Take care. Best.

A dozen at once. There is a plastic holder which fits into the scanner with 12 slots for 35mm slides. You can 'select all' from the preview window on the software and it scans the twelve and saves the images as sequentially numbered files (just like your camera does).

It takes me about a minute per slide. While I am scanning one batch, I tweak the previous batch in another program so the project keeps moving along. I've had the CanoScan for 2 months now, have scanned about 100 slides without any problems. I am very happy with it. I have a little tutorial on my site that shows some of my results: http://www.patriciaweppler.com/tutorial.htm

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.

Not sure what you mean by sequential scanning however a slide attachment is shipped with the unit that holds a number of slides that you slide a lever to advance to the next slide and they then drop out the side as you run through the stack. Just looking at it I would guess that you could place 8-10 slides into the holder and you can keep adding them as you scan without removing the attachment.

No - unfortunately, which was really my only complaint. My old scanner would pre-scan several photos at the same time then select just one at a time to scan. This one won't let you. If you scan multi photos at once you have to crop the scan into single photos on the back end which reduces the file sizes for the individual photos.

Thanks a lot! Any other suggestions? All-in-one with medium format slide scanner?

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.

Use a printer scanner for slides and 35MM film and you should be able to scan mounted slides. Both of my printer work

I just purchased one myself. I have converted several hundred old (1974-1983) 35mm colored slides into digital images. I have had no problems. The one thing I noticed is the way the slide is put into the scanner. The slide cannot always be put into the scanner in the same position it is put into the viewgraph projector. Sometimes it must be turned 90 degrees or it will cut off some of the picture. Once the slide is scanned it can then be rotated back by the computer slide viewer. Don't know if this is your problem.

I have only scanned 35mm negatives and am not sure it will do any other size.

I would guess you could scan any negatives smaller than 35mm. You would need to use a photo editing program to clean it up and if part of another picture showed up cut it out.

Limited to scanning 8 1/2 x 11 at a time. I think Can be saved as PDF. Haven't done much with it yet.

As you will see, there is a tray that holds four slides at a time. Each slide is scanned separately, though. When you are through with one, you simply push the tray until the next slide is centered in the screen. Be sure to put the slides in right side up, though, or everything will be backwards in the picture, e.g. wristwatch on the right wrist, instead of the left. On a different topic, I found some of the pictures cut off the top of people's heads when I scanned them. I had to move the slide slightly down out of the preset slot in order to accommodate this.Jerry W. Caldwell

I don't think so. If the image is 1.75 " it is something other than 35mm. I think it will only scan the image within the border of a standard 35mm slide. Keep checking with other customers. I only used my scanner for 35mm.

The scanner does not have an automatic advance for slides or film, rather you put the content into the carriage, then insert it to the scanner and each advance is manual. Once you get your settings for scanning set, save them and reload the settings each session. You can simply advance the carriage to each image then click the 'scan' button. It's pretty quick. Your sessions can be for whatever film or negative you have. For thousands of slides, you're going to want to be patient. Scanning takes 30 seconds or so per frame, depending on the dpi you choose, but this is nowhere close to a 'thousand slides in an evening' proposition...

I know it can't do that while the film is in strips. It may be able to scan them using the slide scanner cartridge on individual medium format frames, I'm not sure how the dimensions compare. You probably don't want to cut up your film strips though.

It says it scans photos up to 8x10 and 35mm negatives. But we don't scan slides so I'm not exactly sure how that works.
