Will it scan 2-1/4 medium format mounted slides? I don't think it has a 2-1/4 holder, but neither does an older scanner I have and it works fine.

The Epson scanner has a holder for 2" square slides, but not one for 2 1/4". It does have a slot for 2 1/4" film, but I'm not sure how it would handle slides lined up in the slot.

I know it did not scan the old studio portraits I have of my ancesters, taken years ago. The cardboard material of those is not thin enough to pass through the scanner, maybe because it is curved. It may be the same for mounted slides, though I did not try any of my mounted slides. Sorry, that's all the help I can give.

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.

Does this scan medium format negatives and transparencies (slides) or is it a fixed width film holder that just does 35mm?

The slide holder has 4 2"x2" openings. I've scanned slides in plastic and cardboard frames

120 film will not fit into the scan slot. It's intended only for 35 mm film. The scanner requires the film be mounted in a holder. It comes with two type of holders. One for negative strips (holds 6 frames). One for standard 2x2 slides (holds 4 slides.). The holders are manually advanced in the scanner after each scan.

The issue is not the vintage of the slide but the slide's condition & format - I've scanned numerous older slides. The machine scans 35 mm (i.e. 24 X 36 mm) slides or negative strips. To save a lot of Photoshop or equivalent app time, should make sure that the slides are as clean as possible before the scan (i.e., compressed air can or squeeze-type air brush). Good luck!

Yes - you will be able to scan 2-1/4 film, but out of the holder. The comment below by John Lynch is a good one. It's a great scanner and I use it to digitize all my film from when I shot professionally.

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.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

This particular unit is just for slides -- either individual mounted slides or for film strips. There is no way to scan a photo on this particular model.

TedIf you go to Adorama.com it does say that it does medium and large format scans. I'm here trying to find a review of how well it scans large format film.

It will only handle 2 x2 slides. I also use an adapter that will hold loose 2 x 2 slides. What other slides were you trying to use?

Yes. It includes a plastic carrier that holds four slides that you use to feed the slides through the scanner. It holds the slides the right distance from the scanner for good focus. I've used it with paper-mounted and plastic-mounted slides and it works great. Just load up four slides, move it through the scanner one slide at a time, remove the slides, and repeat. Just be sure to get all the dust off the slides before scanning.

I think you press the on button and then scroll through options. There is a single negative holder as opposed to the strip holder -- perhaps one slide at a time would fit into that, or could simply be slid into the slot from above, scanned like a negative, then pulled out. A typical slide is the same size as the negative holder. I have been working on negatives so far and have not yet tried slides myself, but that is what I will try when I get around to it. There is an instruction booklet that comes with the scanner, pretty basic but check it out again. Hope this helps a bit.

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.

Actual measurement of the slots is 8". None of the carriers have openings more than 8 3/4". You might do as the other suggested, search online for one that might work - or, as I did with my previous scanner, build your own custom holder...takes some trial and error, but mine worked fine once I finalized it.
