Does this only hold a single 35 mm negative shot or can you feed a strip through it?

It holds only one. There is NO light. You need to hold it up to the light and look through a tiny hole with only one eye.It is useless and I threw it away.

It only holds a single 35 mm negative slide--it is just enough to see whether I want to keep the slide or not. Nothing exciting about it.

This simple gadget is not designed for negative strips but for one-at-a-time slide viewing. There is little magnification and no light provided. It is not much better than holding a bare slide up to a bright light.

It does negative film but not sure how 12mm would work. It does 35mm negative film.

Honestly, I have trouble using the negative attachment. It's for slides and "standard" negatives (35mm). If you have a large format negative, you might have to lay the negative on the glass, then lay a sheet of white paper (not too much texture!) on top of the negative, and provide a light above it. That's "backlighting" and it works fairly well. Good luck!

Probably but I never tried it so I can give you an informed answer. I did tried standard sized negatives and it did very well.

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.

It cannot easily scan 35 mm slides, which should be back-lit. You can rig it up, though, as I have. Lay the slide on the platen, put a sheet of white paper over it, then shine a lamp above it. This provides back-lighting that will work. It works for negative strips, too.

Yes, this scanner can scan negatives besides 35mm. It comes with a holder to neatly hold 35mm film, and it also comes with a holder to neatly hold 120 film (120 film is a medium format film, most common I'd say around the 1940s - 1960s, it's usually 6 cm wide, but the length of each individual shot can vary). It is *possible*, but not very easy, to scan other formats of film on here (such as 126 film or 110 film). The reason it's not very easy is because the scanner does not come with a designated holder to hold negatives of those sizes, so you basically just have to lay the negative on the glass, and try to get the edges of the negative to not curl up too much, and pray that you're laying it down exactly straight so that it doesn't scan at an angle (the film holders are designed so that the film is lined up exactly straight).

I also have thousands of 35mm negatives, mainly B&W; and strips of six.I'd like to know what Ryan decided to get, and if anyone else has any input regarding this.Thanks!

that's a no brainer. Shorten the strip should reduce the "risk", while still not much compromise your access to camera.

no, the smallest ive been able to strip is 14 awg., its great on all wire bigger then 14 guage til u get up to about 400 mcm then its worth just stripping by hand

Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

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

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.

Yes. We used it for negatives from earlier than that. Be sure to dust them first.

There is a problem with most negatives as the unit will only work with Kodak 35mm negatives. not of the others so you do not get the quality you shoudt get. I use the one that came with my printer scanner it works with any negative not just Kodak 35mm

35mm trays are included. The trays for regular negatives weren't on the one I bought. I had to buy them separately. Maybe there's one with both kinds of trays. I like the negative ones for putting all my old pictures on a disk.

No. You would have to set it up differently then what they give you. It acts as a strip being only one source and they all change together.
