I want only to copy old negatives. What size negatives does it take? All sizes? How does it work with negatives?

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

This is what I wanted. However, it does not work for the old negatives. Have been unable to find a solution.

I have only used it to copy pictures and for that, it worked perfect. It is able to scan any size up to 8x10.

Yes, the carrier for holding larger film is designed for regular modern "large format" negatives, but I found that old negatives taken with my wife's Kodak Hawkeye fit fine (if not perfectly). Make sure that the "dull" side is up and the "shiny" side is facing down.

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, 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?

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

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 am retired and love photography. I found myself with thousands and thousands of photos, slides and negatives that I needed to convert to digital. I bought two different machines the "Pandigital Photolink" for the photographs, I love this machine. I bought another slide and negative to digital picture converter, with this last one, I am converting hundreds of mounted slides and negatives to digital. If you google "SLIDE AND NEGATIVE TO DIGITAL PICTURE CONVERTER" you will find many types and styles from $55.00 to $150.00 or more. They work great!!!! Amazon.com have many of these. I hope my answer can help you. Two machines is the best deal. one for photos, the other one for slides and negatives. I am retired and love photography.

Slide/Negative conversion: Open Photo-Impression 6. Plug in the film-scanner and click on "Get Photo" then "Acquire from Scanner" Calibrate the unit with the calibrate button with out anything in the scanner. Make certain what is highlighted as to negative/Positive[slide], the resolution, and the location the images will be stored. Insert the first item and wait for adjustment [dark or light] then press the gray button on the film-scanner top. Scan only 12 images at a time or additional will be lost. Once the 12 are scanned, select the frames to be transfered by using the "Shift key". Once transfer is complete, exit and get photo again and acquire from scanner. Above should get you close. There are other little things you need to know. Search the new for VuPoint FS-C1-VP. Must use only on XP comp. It won't work on any other. I've tried. tj@nicolbrand.com

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.

I have only used it for 35mm slides so far, don't think it would work for negative since the slot is set to accept slides. I don't think I have any I can try.

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.

You would have to create your own negative holder (or buy a custom one) and scan in professional mode with the thumbnail option unchecked. 616/116 negatives seem to have a width of ~63mm while the medium format negative holder has a width of around ~57mm. This is probably not the best scanner for this purpose. You might look into a scanner that can do 4x5 sheet film, or into buying two pieces of ANR (anti newton ring) glass to sandwich the negative in (black construction paper may also work).

I had not worked with negative film until I read your question, so I got out a strip of 35mm color negatives and put it in the scanner. After selecting "negative film", I looked at the first negative on the strip, and discovered that the image looked exactly like previous slide images had looked! There is no additional external software with the scanner, but conversion from negative to positive is built into the internal conversion program. What you see in the scanner viewer looks like a small print. Transferred to the computer, you wouldn't know whether the image came from a slide or a negative. To me, this makes the conversion process even more simple. (Any manipulation you may want to do after getting the images onto your computer can of course be done with any of a number of different image processing programs.) Hope that helps!

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.

This unit is designed for 35mm slides (transparencies) & negatives ONLY. It doesn't scan other film formats (ie: 110, 46mm, 220, 4x5, etc.) Different films use different dyes that may not reproduce faithfully. This is true with any copy system. Polaroid slide film may look purple while early Kodachrome usually lean towards red or orange. Make adjustments in Photoshop or other program. Obviously the condition of the film also can make a BIG difference.

While I'm not a dental tech - nor do I play one on TV - I can say this unit can scan any negative up to an 8x10. A negative is a negative at this point and its source not relavent. Will also scan prints to the same 8x10 size. I've had no problems scanning with mine.
