Does it scan mounted slides?

Hi Maureen, I was pondering the same thing and went to the Epson website and scoured for this information. Included in the V-300 page is a "what's in the box" section that says an adapter is included for holding negatives and Mounted Slides. The same thing holds true for the v-330 as well. Hope this helps. Great question to ask as I am sure no one wants to have to deal with getting rid of frames around the actual slide.

The product is not set up that way, the holder is designed for slides only, you could buy individual slide mounts and cut your negative to fit to try. Camera digital sensors do not record positive film in the way a scanner does (scanner software turns negative to positive}.

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

We bought it for our museums department and they bought an adapter that went with it to make slides and negative scanning work, but I don't know if it was to make it easier or if it was required to make it work.

I had to use an SD card. I didn't find that to be an issue. The scanner worked great, and I did several thousand slides!

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.

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.

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.

If you are referring to negative slides in some kind of casing then no because the pictures scanned are actually running through the device vs. something being 'waved' over it.

It will work, just not well. This is NOT your slide scanning answer. I found it to be a complete waste of money and time. NO instructions for using it and the products come out looking horrible....

I'm not familiar with what you want to scan, but I think the answer is yes. One of the carriers has two slots about 2 inches wide that run the length of the carrier, about 10 inches. I found a second slide carrier online that had an image of it so I was sure it was the right thing. I suggest you do a search for a carrier for the format you want to see if it is right.

I used it for many 35mm color slides and negatives, and got OK results. If you have a Windows machine you can use the software that accompanies the scanner to get better results. I chose this one because it is also a good flatbed scanner.

No it doesn't scan slides. It now scans photos but with a faint line across them. This was named as a problem others have also had.

There are two holders, one accommodates a strip of negative film, and the other accommodates four slides, and you advance it manually after each slide finishes scanning. Both are just linear holders that insert in a slot on one side of the unit and pass through to the other side.

I think the scanner does a great job with 35 mm slides or negatives. It has a slide holder for 4 slides at a time.

Absolutely NOT. The scanner's light source will only cover up to a 35mm negative or slide's image area. I was hoping to do 2-1/4 negatives and super slides but there's no possible way. It does 35mm's and flat art just great, though.

I only used it for slides , but make sure you aren't looking at the reverse image when you scan the film.
