Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.

it works with most negatives and you don't really need to use the sliders.If you have a strip just slid in through.

Well this is a great little unit and for the price you can't beat it works great 35mm negatives

If you ordered the Veho VFS-002m, then you got a holder for 110 as well as 35mm. You also get a holder for slides. It all works great. I've already used mine for both 110 negatives and some 35mm. If you haven't ordered yet, then read the description. It tells you what all you get with it.

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

The viewer would work with b&w; negatives if the negative is housed in a frame, similar to a slide. The feeder mechanism is not designed for negatives in strips.

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'm not sure about scanning negatives of different sizes, but from my experience I think you would be better off scanning the prints (if you still have them) rather than the negatives. I have scanned mounted slides (positives) and the dark ones don't scan very well (grainy). However, I have no complaints about any of the prints I have scanned.

Does this scan medium format negatives and transparencies (slides) or is it a fixed width film holder that just does 35mm?

The system simply makes a digital copy of 35 mm film of what ever is put in the film holder. If it is a black and white negative or a color negative it will just copy them. However, there are some photo programs that can "invert" the colors (or black for white) to give you a positive out of your negative. One free one is Google's Picasa3 that can be downloaded to your computer. I have been quite happy with the results. However, colors could have faded or changed since the picture were taken, but you have some ability to tinker for improvement.

This equipment does come with a tray for the usage of the old 110mm films - 35mm films and even the slide type of films. But what sort of "old disc negatives" are you referring to? The ones ( 110 mm, 35mm, and slide films) this machine uses are the ones that is still being use today but rarely since all has been using digital with SD cards. I gave this machine to someone else since I can't use it to my laptop and will not operate. It is because my laptop at the time is a refurbished one. But I did check what was inside the box and tried it before I finally gave it to someone esle. Sorry.

Try your local photo lab. If they don't do it, then there's always great pro labs you could mail the film to such as: www.oldschoolphotolab.com or http://www.ilfordlab-us.com

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

I know the mp980 has film guide for scanning negatives and slides. I believe it backlights them also (but I don't have it to know for sure).

Pana-Vue remote scanner will scan 35mm negatives & transparencies. With proper add-ons will copy 126 negatives and 110 negatives. It will not accept anything larger. So-3" pieces of film are definitely not going to work. I wish they would. I have some old black & white large format negatives that I cannot copy.

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

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

. Logon to www.ionaudio.com, Select Quick Start Guide, v1.4 and find SCANNING YOUR IMAGES starting at the bottom of pg. 5. On pg. 6 you will find:6. Press the Film Type button to select the film type that you are using:135 positive (slide)135 negative135 black & white110 negative126 negativeThis information is NOT in the paper Quick Start Guide that comes with the scanner I bought but only in the website Guide.Rather than ask AMAZON.com, always check the vendors website or call their Customer Service Dept. They are very helpful.

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.

It is best for viewing 35mm slides. I've never tried it to view negatives. This device illustrates the old adage "you get what you pay for".

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.
