Is there a way to scan negatives and slides with this model? Is there a way to get accessories or another way to make it work?

I am also wondering whether this is an option, if anyone has any information. I do not want to shell out an additional $120 for a, based on the reviews from CNET and PCMAG, slower, equivalent quality, bulkier model in the mp 810. After a week of searching, I finally just emailed Canon to find out whether they can tell me and pointed out that Epson used to offer this option. *EDIT* From Canon reply: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding an film adapter for the PIXMA MP600. Unfortunately, Canon does not manufacture a film adapter for the PIXMA MP600. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. " Guess it's time to decide whether a separate one is cheaper than spending on the 810.

I have not used it for negatives yet, only slides. They slip into a tray that is fed manually through the box. There is no auto advance. I have used other scanners in the past, and I am extremely pleased with this one.

Sorry - 35 mm slides, negative, mounted 110MM slides, and 110 negatives only. You probably need to go to a flatbed scanner that's designed to handle the larger stuff. That's what I ended up doing.

Kathleen,No, this printer has no ability to scan 35mm slides. It just has a normal flatbed (document-size) scanner. While another answer suggests that it might be possible, flatbed and 35mm scanners work differently. I would never attempt to use this to scan film. You might also check Epson. They have good printers and models that do scan both documents and slides or film negatives.

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.

Although I haven't used this feature yet, the scanner comes with all the necessary hardware to scan film and slides. it's detailed in the onscreen manual and it says you can scan 35mm film negatives, 35mm slides, (film positives) and also 120 format negatives.

Don't know. It doesn't take good images. I bought a scanner. Haven't tried it with slides yet.

Sorry I can't answer that question as I never used it to scan slides. Everything else scans beautifully, though.

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

I haven't tried to scan any negatives yet - still working on slides. I'm sure that it will scan any negative though since it scans what it sees whether it is color or black & white.

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. It scans slides, pictures and negatives. The scanner takes 4 slides at a time. Worked great. I had about 1500 slides from the 60s. The Kaiser Mini let me sort thru them quickly. Was a great winter project.

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.

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.

The issue is not the vintage of the slide but the slide's condition & format - I've scanned numerous older slides. The machine scans 35 mm (i.e. 24 X 36 mm) slides or negative strips. To save a lot of Photoshop or equivalent app time, should make sure that the slides are as clean as possible before the scan (i.e., compressed air can or squeeze-type air brush). Good luck!

I, too, have the old, old, old large negatives from the early 1900s through 1960s - most are B&W; - that I want to scan. Will this scanner do those? I had purchased a PanDigital Photo/Negative Scanner, but it would only do 35mm negatives, so I sent it back. I really need to know if this will do the old old old b&w; negatives that are big?

Sorry, Patricia, no it doesn't scan slides. I have also wished the same thing, although I only have a small amount of slides - it would still be nice
