have some old larger negatives, about 2.3/4" x 4.1/2" will it scan these?

Maximum size negatives or transparencies for scanning without having to piece scans together is 2.7" x 9.5", according to Epson's website. It will not scan 4" x 5" film in a single scan. This can be problematic/time-consuming is you have more than a few large originals you wish to piece together (with Adobe Photoshop's Photomerge or other software).

I recently used my scanner to scan some older negatives (from 1958) that were larger than 35 millimeter film. Just laid it on the glass surface and it worked fine. Had 2 negatives that were badly curled, so I held 2 edges down with thin flat pieces of plastic~ this worked great also.

I don't know why it couldn't. I'd email the Epson Company about that question before proceeding. That being said, I am extremely pleased with my Epson scanner. It is worth far more than what I paid. It was a fantastic purchase, for me!

There are two film adaptor trays included with the Perfection V600 one has slots for 35mm and standard slides. The other Epson manufactured film tray has a 2 1/4 wide slot that is about 8 1/2 inches long. I have been using this to scan vintage film from cameras manufactured from the 1910's to the 1940s. This was the large format that was popular from the 1900's through the 1950s.

My guess is that you could scan the negatives without using the 2 1/4 inch carrier by just laying them (emulsion side up) on the glass But I don't think the light source will illuminate the extra width evenly and the edges will be darker than the center. You could scan these negatives in two strips, making sure each edge is within the illuminated boundary. Then carefully assemble the pair in Photoshop, sort of the way you would assemble a panorama of separate images. You could scan really large negatives that way. This is a very good scanner for very little cash. If this workaround works for you, you wouldn't need a much more expensive scanner for larger format transparencies or negatives.

I believe so. It will scan several 2-1/4" transparencies and negatives on a special holder and I believe it will also scan 4x5 transparencies and negatives.

Yes. It can scan slides (positives) and film negatives, but you need different holders for each. I recommend that you buy a couple of extra holders (slide or strip) if you have much to do.

I have the same question! I am looking for something to scan the old black and white negatives- larger ones than 35mm. Have you found a scanner that will do that, mt gal? If you do, can you let me know at dlamp3300@aol.com ? Thanks

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.

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!

I have never tried the discs. The scanner doesn't have anything that would accommodate them. If you are willing to cut up the discs, you could probably fit the negatives in the tray that is made for 110 negatives, but I don't see any other way to scan them with this scanner.

If you mean will it accept and scan something that large I do believe it will, depends on how large the platen area of the scanner is. As for reducing it you will need to use an app such as Photoshop to reduce it later. Hope that helps.

I would have to say No to that one. The one I have - The scanning surface is 8.75" by 12" and as I recall the legal size is 8.5" by 14" so it will NOT take that the additional 2". Other than that it has been very good for most of my needs. Hope this is of help to you.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

I'm not familiar with the scanners you mentioned. The Product Dimensions for the carrying case are 3.2 x 11.5 x 2.2 inches ; 3.2 ounces. I would compare them to the scanners you have.

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 don't see why not. I've used it to scan printed items and it works great. Only thing if it is larger than 4x6, you will need to scan in sections and use the software included to create the larger item.

Scanning negatives would be great, but to answer your question, I don't know.

It says it scans photos up to 8x10 and 35mm negatives. But we don't scan slides so I'm not exactly sure how that works.

Wish I could tell you. I own the Neat Portable scanner myself. Wonder if the dimensions are closely related. If so, then there shouldnt be a problem.

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.

This scanner will scan a color or black and white negative, and make you a digital .JPG (picture). You can then do whatever you want to with it. I have scanned negatives that I still have prints from, from the 1980's, and my prints from these scans are better than the originals from the 1980's. So yes it will scan them very well.
