Does it scan 120 film, or only 35mm?

You can rig it to scan any film using your own cardboard templates, but as it comes it only has a template for 35mm.

I don't use the CanoScan for film scanning. I had an expensive, dedicated Epson scanner years ago to do that. Now I just use the CanoScan to copy prints and documents. I think the CanoScan only will scan 35 film or slides.

Yes there is device for 35mm that comes with it ....but honestly the time it takes..I would use a service for 23cents a copy.

120 is a medium format sized film. It refers to 120mm. This film produces square photos

No, it's set up for only 35mm. (Wish it could, I have lots of old 8mm film)

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 only used it for B&W; neg. there is some adjustments, but will not scan full frame on 120 negs. I would rate this unit at 2 stars.

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, 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).

Yes it scans slides from 35 mm film, and the result is much better than that from my Epson V700.

I have not used these, but there are three sizes of negative templates for this scanner bed, and I believe one is for your 120 format requirement.

Hi Charlotte!It is possible to use 120 film versus the stock 620 it was originally intended for. However there is a catch to doing so. The catch is that you would take a nail file or sander to take of the little nibbed edges from the spool of the 120 film in order to do so. So it may take a little doing and prep to do so.

I just received my Canoscan 8800F a few days ago....I'm impressed with the medium format aspect of scanner. The only problem is the huge file it creates when you try to get the photo as close of the film medium format quality as possible (25mb file)

Yes and yes. There is a 2-1/4 film holder you need to slide the film into to scan it.

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

yes, but you do have to tell it what kind of film it is i.e. B&W; neg,color neg,color slide,it gives great resolution and color rendition...it also comes with photoshop elements (my unit did )another thing you can scan 2 1/4 film.thats one big pic.I have had this unit for a few years. and it does good work.also, I went to college and majored in photography, so I have some experience in film...

I would guess you could scan any negatives smaller than 35mm. You would need to use a photo editing program to clean it up and if part of another picture showed up cut it out.

Hi, the product is great and I love the ease of use and quality of output. You need to be scanning regular size slides or negatives with it. Not sure what the 120 is but it will not take 6x9 cm in.

A dozen at once. There is a plastic holder which fits into the scanner with 12 slots for 35mm slides. You can 'select all' from the preview window on the software and it scans the twelve and saves the images as sequentially numbered files (just like your camera does).
