Hi...I have many 35mm B&W negatives given to me by my late Uncle who was in Iwo Jima during WWII. Will this scanner convert the negatives? Thanks, Ed

Yes, it will. I have scanned many 35mm color and B&W; negatives. The negative strip fits perfectly into the holder. Be sure to handle the negatives correctly and perhaps even wipe them gently with a lens cloth to remove dust. Even better, buy a can of compressed-gas. Scan them at very high resolution and you'll be amazed at the clarity.

I don't have black & white negatives, but I did scan old colored negatives with no problem. I don't see why the scanner wouldn't work with black & whites also.

I used it for many 35mm color slides and negatives, and got OK results. If you have a Windows machine you can use the software that accompanies the scanner to get better results.I chose this one because it is also a good flatbed scanner.

Hello jerseyboyI feel that you can convert negatives. Although this scanner did not come with a negatives converter like the Epson perfection 2480 -2580 if you can get your hands on one (black plastic with pre-cut holes and slightly raised to allow focusing) plus the instruction book that came with that scanner it will probably work since this V330 is easier to operate.. I think Epson did omitted that piece of plastic because most people did away with negatives with the instant cameras and smart phones. Hope information helps.

I have never tried the discs. The scanner doesn't have anything that would accommodate them. If you are willing to cut up the discs, you could probably fit the negatives in the tray that is made for 110 negatives, but I don't see any other way to scan them with this scanner.

I just purchased one myself. I have converted several hundred old (1974-1983) 35mm colored slides into digital images. I have had no problems. The one thing I noticed is the way the slide is put into the scanner. The slide cannot always be put into the scanner in the same position it is put into the viewgraph projector. Sometimes it must be turned 90 degrees or it will cut off some of the picture. Once the slide is scanned it can then be rotated back by the computer slide viewer. Don't know if this is your problem.

No. I tried some old film from the early 1960's (similar to 35mm) on the 120mm film frame and it didn't work. What I did do was just put it on the regular glass (with the protective cover in place) and scanned it as a color photo. Oddly enough, it worked! If you already have this scanner, you might consider trying that. Best of luck.

This particular scanner, the Kodak 4x6 P461, has a specific feeder into which you insert the negatives. It seems to me that it would not work for negatives that are not 35mm in size. I have not researched other scanners to see if they would be able to scan other negative sizes. Good Luck!

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.

I do not believe the scanner can process negatives. It does come with a special tray for slides.

Yes you can. I recently purchased one for the 110 negatives. It works fine except that it is awkward to use when the negative strips only contain four pictures (which most of mine do!!). The 35mm ones are no problem at all. I bought extra of those also just so I could prepare a large quantity at on e time for processing. Just go to the Wolverine web site and click on "Accessories".

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 product is not set up that way, the holder is designed for slides only, you could buy individual slide mounts and cut your negative to fit to try. Camera digital sensors do not record positive film in the way a scanner does (scanner software turns negative to positive}.

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.

The scanner is capable of scanning them, the problem is you will need to make a special holder for the negatives. 126 slides are no problem.

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.

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 have the Canoscan 8400F. I can tell you how I do it on that scanner. Basically, I trick the scanner into thinking that it's scanning 120 film. I typically put the the 120 adapter into place, and then lay 3 strips of 110 film in the adapter. If the film doesn't want to lie flat, since it can't be held down by the adapter, I place a couple of high quality microscope slides on the film to hold it flat, making sure that the edges of the slides fall at a break between negatives. I set the scanner at its highest resolution, which on the 8400F is 3200 ppi. Then using the selection tool, I select about three negatives at a time to scan. I separate them later using Photoshop Elements by cutting and pasting. I scan them as if they were transparencies rather than negatives. The large amount of white space surrounding the negatives causes the scanner to misinterpret the colors if they are scanned as negatives. The scanner always says that an image consisting of three 110 negatives is about 50 megs, but it never actually is that large when you examine the file after it is saved. Once I have the scanned image, I then open the image in Photoshop Elements, cut and paste the individual negatives as separate files, and then process. First I run autocontrast, then auto color correct, then auto levels, and finally invert the image to a positive. Then I do any touchup and final color and noise adjustment. I've probably processed about a thousand 110 negatives this way and usually get pretty good results. I assume you could do something similar with the 8800F. The biggest problem I get is the presence of Newton rings, but I can usually correct that by rescanning, or post processing if they aren't too serious.

I'm looking for a way to scan the negatives too. FilmscanUSA has an adapter that supposedly works. I have tried to scan a 110 negative and it works but because the 35mm slot is too big it is hard to keep the negative in place.

Good Morning Karen, I'm sure that you can. There is a place and little devise that you use to scan them and slides. I believe it will work just a GOOD as the photo scanner works. I love my scanner. I have scanned approx. 500 photos in 3 different sessions and I still need to do many many more. I have negatives that I will be scanning also. Good Luck and again I LOVE MY PERSONAL PHOTO AND NEGATIVE SCANNER. YOU WILL TOO... Sincerely, Mary J. Kinch mkinch@aol.com
