does it scan negitives from the 40s and 50s?

I scanned slides but there is something you need to know. Once you download the Blaze Photo CD, only use the scanner. Scan in all the negatives, if you go into the Blaze Photo program everything freezes. Get the Picasa Photo program (which is free) and download that to transfer all your photos into in order to keep on pc or make a CD. It took me the longest time before I finally figured it our. Good Luck.

This unit is designed for 35mm slides (transparencies) & negatives ONLY. It doesn't scan other film formats (ie: 110, 46mm, 220, 4x5, etc.) Different films use different dyes that may not reproduce faithfully. This is true with any copy system. Polaroid slide film may look purple while early Kodachrome usually lean towards red or orange. Make adjustments in Photoshop or other program. Obviously the condition of the film also can make a BIG difference.

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!

Yes, it does. It also converts a color negative to "positive" colors. You select the type of material you are scanning at the beginning (slides, color negative, b&w; negatives) and then it displays the correct images on the screen until you change the setting.

Yes. It's a pretty standard scanner, so it has a large bed that can accommodate large negatives. It comes with several adapters that lay on the bed and are specific to 35mm and other sizes. On larger negatives, I place them directly on the bed without adapters and get good results.

It will scan just about everything. You need select the advanced menu if your stuff is odd sized. I have scanned odd sized slides, the old style film strips, negatives of odd size as well. there are some trade offs- since it only comes with the 3 presized holders, it is a bit finicky, but it works.

The manufacturer description says yes. You need a special "tray" for that. The scanner comes in 2 versions (with, and without the negative tray). The version with the tray is about $500 more expensive. You can also get the scanner without the tray and buy it separately. I didn't buy the tray because i don't use it to scan negatives. So I haven't done it but it has the capability to do so (as long you get the part).

I have not done it yet, but the specification say that it will, and that's one of the reasons I bought it. It has settings for positives or negatives, and for color or black and white (and many other settings). So far I have scanned over 1500 color slides and I am amazed at the quality for this price. It comes with a slide holder and a negative holder.

Yes. I love this scanner. It is so easy to use. I just connect it to my computer and scan in. You are given the choice of where you want to save what you have scanned.

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.

These units now include the scan feature. I bought one in 2014 that didn't scan, then another in 2015 that does give the option to scan automatically.

I used it to scan 35 mm slides... It also can scan 35 mm negs... But don't believe it will scan larger negs... Not 100% sure though... Hope that helps

Yes. I use it to scan documents and photos for Family History Work. It is especially useful to either color correct old photos or remove flaws from the originals.

I am a shop owner and 30 year tech and I have have had this scanner for 2 months and I can tell you that it is not capable of makeing paramater changes, but it is a great tool for the money.

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

No. It only scans documents, photos, etc, that are 8 1/2 inches X 11 inches or smaller.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

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