I utilise the 120 films frame to scan 126. The film can be clamped at the front and at one side in the frame (holes side). A short adhesive tape fixes the film on the black auxiliary sheet to prevent slipping. In the scanner driver, select "Preview" and "Zoom" and mark the frame to be scanned. Start scanning.

We bought our CanonScan 8600F scanner 2 days ago,and I am at my wit's end trying to find out how to scan 35 mm film slides. I went to the Canon web site and downloaded the scanner driver for Vista (32 bit) and installed it on my computer. The instruction manual said to open Photo Studio 5.5, file, select source and select your scanner model name without the WIA in it. When I opened the select source box, only one scanner model name was listed and it had WIA in it. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? I am thinking about returning the scanner if we can't scan slides.

I have the 8600F and have scanned 14 rolls of 24 exposure film. All but one roll worked fine. One roll some pictures look over-exposed and about half of the jpg's look like negatives. I was able to use Adobe photo elements and do a negative on it and color balance to get it to look near normal. There are still a half dozen or more that the colors are all off if I try this. If anyone has figured out a cause and/or solution, please let me know as well! Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. Been researching all morning and have narrowed down to the same 2. Best review I've found is on pcmag... with bottomline given as "If you need a scanner that scans both film and prints, but you are more concerned with the prints, the 8800F is an ideal choice. If your needs are more film-based than print-based, look at the V500 for excellent film scanning."

You would have to create your own negative holder (or buy a custom one) and scan in professional mode with the thumbnail option unchecked. 616/116 negatives seem to have a width of ~63mm while the medium format negative holder has a width of around ~57mm. This is probably not the best scanner for this purpose. You might look into a scanner that can do 4x5 sheet film, or into buying two pieces of ANR (anti newton ring) glass to sandwich the negative in (black construction paper may also work).

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.

Well, as of June 2008, there is a post in the CanoScan 8600 vs. 8800 discussion by CM-Monkey (I believe is his moniker) where he reports buying the V500 and the 8800 and his side by side comparison ends with Epson V500 the winner! So, where do we go now with this discussion? I'd rather not have to buy both scanners to do a side by side comparison myself.

Hi, Richard! Thank you for your query about the Medi-2200, which we are happy to offer to Amazon customers. To answer your particular questions: 1. You don't wait for lamp warm-up, so save time there. It starts scanning immediately. It'll do that scan in under 30 seconds. 2. You can choose from several formats: TIF, BMP, JPG, PSD, PDF, GIF. We do have this on sale, now. Sale ends today. If, by some chance you miss that window please contact me and I'll put it back on sale long enough for yuo to get the sale price. You can find full details and even a demo video on our Website, if you need more information (also fine to ask me via Amazon)--click on the scanners link in that first bullet point row on the home page. Best Regards, Mark Lamendola Mindconnection, LLC

I don't recall using a tray especially for 110 negatives, so I slid the 110 films in the slot, and was able to scan my films without the tray, but it was iffy. Quality wise, the scanner was not so great, so I returned and got my money back. Rene S.

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?

Do all size sheets have to be the same. What sizes does it take. I want to scan 50 years of family photos. They are all different sizes and textures. Then I plan to burn them to disk. Does anyone know a relative quick way of doing this. I will have a new computer shortly (Vista). Right now the scanner from my cannon printer all in 1 takes a few minutes to scan each...this would take me the rest of my life. Plus I want to scan one photo at a time. Save and then I can burn to disk. HELP!! Thanks.

That same review has me concerned with MX850 scan quality. I have an MP830 and do a lot of scanning with it. Does anyone know if the different sensor in the MX850 scans as well as the MP830's.

Can I just lay an entire 35mm roll of film in a plastic Printfile right on the glass of the Canoscan 9000F and scan the whole thing? I want to make digital contact sheets from many rolls of color negatives. These are for reference, not for high resolution archival purposes. My old Canoscan 9950F will not do it. The scanning area is not big enough to cover the whole roll.

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.

Wondered if this machine will scan black and white negatives that are larger format than 35 mm. Our historical society has many old negatives.

No - unfortunately, which was really my only complaint. My old scanner would pre-scan several photos at the same time then select just one at a time to scan. This one won't let you. If you scan multi photos at once you have to crop the scan into single photos on the back end which reduces the file sizes for the individual photos.

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.
