How is scanning 120 mm negatives done? Does the negative come into direct contact with the scanner bed? Or is there a 120 mm negative holder?

You're welcome. The directions aren't that great but after a little trial and error, I figured out this machine and have really enjoyed using it.

Yes, it can scan 120 panoramic negatives. There is a negative holder for this use.

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.

The scanner comes with a snap down holder that holds a 4 image strip. The holder does not have alignment pins to position the film in the holder, but alignment is easy enough. (white gloves are recommended.) The holder slides into the scanner and a detent aligns the holder in the scanner. The process is manual; i.e. you slide the holder into the first position, scan the slide and then slide the holder to the next position. If the slides are from the same batch with similar exposures, the process is pretty quick. I'd estimate a 2400 dpi scan takes about a minute. If the dust removal feature is on, the time doubles. I've found it hard to resist the temptation to get a better scan by fiddling with the gizmos in Silverfast. That slows things down a lot and the manual mounting a advancing of the holder isn't a factor for me. Hope that helps.

I have this MP500 printer. It is not capable of scanning negatives. There's nothing in the manual covering negative scanning.

I have had a number of epson scanners/printers, and they usually come with an accessory for negatives if it is a feature of that model. Call customer service epson and ask if that model # has that feature.....

No, it only works with slides or negatives. Not sure about the size of 120 film negatives. If they are bigger than a 35mm slide they probably won't fit.

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.

Absolutely NOT. The scanner's light source will only cover up to a 35mm negative or slide's image area. I was hoping to do 2-1/4 negatives and super slides but there's no possible way. It does 35mm's and flat art just great, though.

I did all of my scans as jpegs so they were very accurate. If you wanted something that you could edit, I really don't know the answer. One thing to consider... I used the scanner holder that kept it steady while scanning. This made a big difference. Scanning without the holder, everything was out of proportion and not worth doing.

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).

There is a feeder for the scanner (as well as the flat bed) so you can use it to scan legal size. I work @ a law firm and we use these at trials. Nice unit...

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.

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.

My guess is that you could scan the negatives without using the 2 1/4 inch carrier by just laying them (emulsion side up) on the glass But I don't think the light source will illuminate the extra width evenly and the edges will be darker than the center. You could scan these negatives in two strips, making sure each edge is within the illuminated boundary. Then carefully assemble the pair in Photoshop, sort of the way you would assemble a panorama of separate images. You could scan really large negatives that way. This is a very good scanner for very little cash. If this workaround works for you, you wouldn't need a much more expensive scanner for larger format transparencies or negatives.

Yes. It can scan slides (positives) and film negatives, but you need different holders for each. I recommend that you buy a couple of extra holders (slide or strip) if you have much to do.

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.
