Okay. Will this Epson V500 scan 120 format negatives? Nothing here precisely says that. I have a ton of 120 negatives that I want to preserve! Thanx!

I am not completely sure on that question. I have not used this for negatives as of yet. But on the box it says "scan slides and negative, including medium format". I'm not sure if the 120 negatives you are referring to are considered medium format. If they are, then I suppose this answers your question. If not, sorry I could not be of more assistance.

yes it will! and better than canon canoscan plus the diff between this and v700 is that v700 has a bigger scan area but doesnt have better resolution in my experience

I believe so, there is a plastic mask that holds the negative, the scanner then scans the film and the mask creates the outline. I don't have 120 negatives, but the scanner has worked well with 110 negatives, and those little round discs of the 70's.

You may have to buy or build an adapter but it can scan negatives. When you preview the scan, make sure the "thumbnail" box is not checked. This will scan the entire negative area and you can select the area to scan manually.

I have not used these, but there are three sizes of negative templates for this scanner bed, and I believe one is for your 120 format requirement.

It was my understanding that it would format negatives. Since it did not work with Windows 7, 64 bit, never had a chance to use the machine.

The scanner comes with a holder for 2 inch by 2 inch slides - I think that is 120 format. It holds 4 at a time. Good luck!

Hello,yes you can scan medium format! Also, i would suggest downloading Vue Scan to scan your negatives rather than using Epson Scan (the program that comes with the scanner) because it makes a huge difference. The white balance is a little wonky, but that's easily fixed in photoshop. I feel like epson scan sort of made my medium format scans (and my scans in general) look pretty crappy, so i highly recommend using vue scan, especially if you are using medium format and want to retain as much of the quality as possible. Hope this was helpful!

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.

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

Yes it will. Depends on your thickness. I print 100# 13.1 calipre with Epson all day. This one choked a bit, but took it. Train your Epson, be rough with it, it's not an HP.

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 tried your suggestion and it seems to work for a single frame. Like the original poster, I have many strips of 126 negatives and would like to scan all four frames at once. Is that possible?

Hi Judy - it is a slide scanner, so you would need to mount the negative into 35mm format, and have software that could interpret the monochrome images. Better to go to a photographic company I suggest and have it done there. Also the device doesn't work with modern OS.

Yes. It's a pretty standard scanner, so it has a large bed that can accommodate large negatives. It comes with several adapters that lay on the bed and are specific to 35mm and other sizes. On larger negatives, I place them directly on the bed without adapters and get good results.

Make sure the negative is in the adapter part and not on top of it. Also, is the negative one of four in a strip. If you're scanning a sole negatives, you have to take the adapter out and fit the negative in the open space and then replace it in the machine. It should work if you're on the correct setting of 35mm. Good luck

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.

I'm in the same boat. Been researching all morning and have narrowed down to the same 2. Best review I've found is on pcmag... with bottomline given as "If you need a scanner that scans both film and prints, but you are more concerned with the prints, the 8800F is an ideal choice. If your needs are more film-based than print-based, look at the V500 for excellent film scanning."

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

hello, have you tried scannin 110 film?..this is the really small film that came in a cartridge..do you think this scanner would work with 110 film?..thanks! fred

Yes, but you will have to create your own negative holder, or find a way to keep the negatives flat on the platen. If you have an old scanner with a smaller piece of glass that would be optimal to use to keep the 110 negatives flat. The automatic scanning setups will also not identify 110 negatives, but using the scanner driver, and the advanced settings you are able to identify the images by drawing a box around each, then scanning them as a batch.

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.

Hello, I have not yet had the chance to scan any color pieces - I've scanned only bw so far - and I had to make color corrections in photoshop. I've had epson scanners in the past (not this expensive though), and I've always had to make color adjustments.

Hello jerseyboyI feel that you can convert negatives. Although this scanner did not come with a negatives converter like the Epson perfection 2480 -2580 if you can get your hands on one (black plastic with pre-cut holes and slightly raised to allow focusing) plus the instruction book that came with that scanner it will probably work since this V330 is easier to operate.. I think Epson did omitted that piece of plastic because most people did away with negatives with the instant cameras and smart phones. Hope information helps.
