Will it scan full rolls and/or strips of negatives? - NOT SLIDES
297075
I have been scanning strips of negatives. A negative strip has to be at least 3 frames long, but if you have only one negative there is a single frame holder that you can use. The scanner has setting for negatives or slides. The negatives I have done so far have turned out fine when downloaded to my computer. BE careful of your fingertips on the negatives, one scan had a nice thumb print on it. Hope this helps.

Full rolls will feed. The developer cut mine in strips of 5 and starting a strip can be tricky. Advancing is easy.

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.

Yes, it will. I have scanned many 35mm color and B&W; negatives. The negative strip fits perfectly into the holder. Be sure to handle the negatives correctly and perhaps even wipe them gently with a lens cloth to remove dust. Even better, buy a can of compressed-gas. Scan them at very high resolution and you'll be amazed at the clarity.

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.

I have this scanner and it will only do 35mm negatives. It does a pretty good job considering that this scanner is pretty cheap.

Although I haven't used this feature yet, the scanner comes with all the necessary hardware to scan film and slides. it's detailed in the onscreen manual and it says you can scan 35mm film negatives, 35mm slides, (film positives) and also 120 format negatives.

Kathleen,No, this printer has no ability to scan 35mm slides. It just has a normal flatbed (document-size) scanner. While another answer suggests that it might be possible, flatbed and 35mm scanners work differently. I would never attempt to use this to scan film. You might also check Epson. They have good printers and models that do scan both documents and slides or film negatives.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. It scans slides, pictures and negatives. The scanner takes 4 slides at a time. Worked great. I had about 1500 slides from the 60s. The Kaiser Mini let me sort thru them quickly. Was a great winter project.

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

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.

There are two caddies that come with the scanner. One does normal slides and 35 mm negatives. The other one has an opening that is 2 1/4 x 8 1/2. I think you could do the slides there. I have used it for older over-sized negatives with good results.

It will scan to Mac. I can't 100% say for sure about black and white negatives as I haven't tried this. The slides we had were from the 60's and 70's so some of the negatives were faded and I thought the scan was accurate to the faded color of the slide

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

Hi Vicki, No, this model does not scan slides but Canon has models with that feature. Outside of this question though, I can strongly recommend Canon scanners.... long life reliability. Rossi

I'm not sure about scanning negatives of different sizes, but from my experience I think you would be better off scanning the prints (if you still have them) rather than the negatives. I have scanned mounted slides (positives) and the dark ones don't scan very well (grainy). However, I have no complaints about any of the prints I have scanned.

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