does it work for old negatives from 1940s and 1950s

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!

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

I know it did not scan the old studio portraits I have of my ancesters, taken years ago. The cardboard material of those is not thin enough to pass through the scanner, maybe because it is curved. It may be the same for mounted slides, though I did not try any of my mounted slides. Sorry, that's all the help I can give.

No' it won't work on any 6000 or 600 Polaroid cameras those films are slitetly diffrent. & as for the foil wrapping some seller open up there 2 pk film box & send 1 if that's what u bought it's still good I buy them like that once in a while but be carfull if u get some like that it's that they don't want u to see there experation date on them ok & a tip don't shake the picture while it's developing the chemicals won't expand evenly while developing in processes ok hope I answerd your question : )

Yes, it will. Focus very carefully, and don't let stray light hit the film from the sides. I cover the sides with black paper or tape.Shoot RAW and process at 16 bit. I scan BW negatives as positive color or Kodachrome slides, then reverse the negative to positive in Curves in Photoshop, and bring in the end points as needed. Works great.

No. I tried some old film from the early 1960's (similar to 35mm) on the 120mm film frame and it didn't work. What I did do was just put it on the regular glass (with the protective cover in place) and scanned it as a color photo. Oddly enough, it worked! If you already have this scanner, you might consider trying that. Best of luck.

It will handle some negative sizes, not not a large variety. It was no good for most that I had from the 20s through 50s. I was able to finagle some of them, to get the primary areas, but it was a headache.

35mm negs work well, if they haven't been cut into singles, and the other small films won't work because it only scans 35mm. The strip of negs slip into a frame and have to be lined up correctly, or you end up with parts of two exposures. There is another holder for 4x5 cut film and 120/620 long negs, and another for 120/620 square negs. All of the large size neg holders are difficult to use if the film wasn't trimmed correctly when it was developed. My problem is that a lot of my negs date back to the 20's & 30's, and there is nothing to hold them properly. I used it on some of my newer film sizes, but it was a waste of time and money trying to scan the negs that were important to me.

I used this product to remove years of grime from antique negatives and a few prints.It did remove some adhesive from a black and white print. Could you try it in aninconspicuous area first? You could also ask at a professional photographic store--nota big box photo department--that does specialty processing.

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

No, it only works with slides or negatives. Not sure about the size of 120 film negatives. If they are bigger than a 35mm slide they probably won't fit.

Yes you can. I recently purchased one for the 110 negatives. It works fine except that it is awkward to use when the negative strips only contain four pictures (which most of mine do!!). The 35mm ones are no problem at all. I bought extra of those also just so I could prepare a large quantity at on e time for processing. Just go to the Wolverine web site and click on "Accessories".

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.

There is also a holder of 110 negatives and one for slides. It works great.

Not really. I tried scanning OLD poloroid photos that were glued to the back of cardboard, you may be too young to remember those, but it didn't like those too much and I used my big copier/scanner for those. Also, it likes some old newpaper and not other so I would be careful about what you put thru. It did an amazing job on my photos, tho, like we got printed in the old days from Walgreen's so you can compare your project to those items. My Mom uses it for her printed out geneology that is on regular 20# printer paper and it does great. Don't know if I answered your questions but I tried.

This particular scanner, the Kodak 4x6 P461, has a specific feeder into which you insert the negatives. It seems to me that it would not work for negatives that are not 35mm in size. I have not researched other scanners to see if they would be able to scan other negative sizes. Good Luck!

It will easily do the old ones with cardboard and probably the others too. It worked very well for me on the old slides.

look at the sizes, if they are the same as your polaroid sizes for film then you can use it
