Does this scanner scan slides like the 4x6 version?

If you are referring to negative slides in some kind of casing then no because the pictures scanned are actually running through the device vs. something being 'waved' over it.

No it doesn't scan slides. It only scans photos but now the end result shows a faint line across every photo scanned. This was cited as a problem that other users have had as well.

If you are talking about photo-slides, then while it is possible, I would suggest not, as slides (and negatives) tend to be much more delicate than actual photographs, the act of having the slide or negative pulled through the mechanism could cause tears in the media. Given the opportunity I would suggest using a flatbed scanner for those.

No it doesn't scan slides. It now scans photos but with a faint line across them. This was named as a problem others have also had.

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.

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

No ! The bed is only Letter size and a bit more for the A4 size paper.I use it to scan slides and it does a GREAT job ! I had this scanner since 2009 and still works like the first day. Very good quality.

I'm not sure about scanning negatives of different sizes, but from my experience I think you would be better off scanning the prints (if you still have them) rather than the negatives. I have scanned mounted slides (positives) and the dark ones don't scan very well (grainy). However, I have no complaints about any of the prints I have scanned.

Nope. but you can put several photos on the scanner bed to scan at once. The scanner bed is about 9 in x 14 in.

The Omni Scan only scans film and slides, not prints. If you are going to try to scan 4x6 prints, the Omni Scan Stand Alone will not work for you.

Yes. It includes a plastic carrier that holds four slides that you use to feed the slides through the scanner. It holds the slides the right distance from the scanner for good focus. I've used it with paper-mounted and plastic-mounted slides and it works great. Just load up four slides, move it through the scanner one slide at a time, remove the slides, and repeat. Just be sure to get all the dust off the slides before scanning.

Jeff,Only used this V37 once. This scanner replaced a very good but old scanner that will not run on win 7 so brought the V37. I use a program call Picture Manager that comes with Office. Good to do basic editing and I use an old program call Print Shop Pro to add text. I don't do slideshows and but put them in Shutterfly for others to view as a slideshow you will need another software to do that and there are many out there. You can put many 4x6 on a disk but it all depend on the file size.

Mine will only scan negatives. There is one out there that also does slides but this one isn't it. Unless you want to take your slides out of their cardboard holders and scan them as negatives.

All I have ever scanned is 35mm slides and 3x5 prints. The directions indicate you can scan 35mm film, Monochrome and slides.

I've been mostly caught up by the phrase "all-in-one with slide/neg scanning", that is exactly what I was looking for the many years! Thanks for the link - but there is very expensive slide-scanner talk mostly.Thanks again!

If your slides deviate from the standard 35 mm frames, you need to select the advanced menu, but yes this scanner will do them.

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.

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

Yes. When you load a color or B&W negative into the scanner, you see the image as a positive. During the setup, you must indicate whether you are loading negatives or slides (which are positive images). There is a bit of a learning curve to using the scanner - but nothing too terribly confusing. The instructions that come with it will walk you through.
