Old Large Negatives Will this scan large negatives?

Since this does not work for older, larger negatives I ordered an Epson Perfection V500 from Amazon. Got it today and used it on some old 2.5 X 3.5" B/W negatives from the 1930's. Once I got it figured out it did a great job coverting directly from neg to pos with no extra software needed. I even enlarged some up to 8 X10 and printed them on plain paper and they came out great. Only problem is the precess is slow--about 3 min. per negative once you have it set up and it must be used with your computer. Hope this helps.

I have the same question! I am looking for something to scan the old black and white negatives- larger ones than 35mm. Have you found a scanner that will do that, mt gal? If you do, can you let me know at dlamp3300@aol.com ? Thanks

This scanner will scan a color or black and white negative, and make you a digital .JPG (picture). You can then do whatever you want to with it. I have scanned negatives that I still have prints from, from the 1980's, and my prints from these scans are better than the originals from the 1980's. So yes it will scan them very well.

I haven't tried that yet but it is supposed to scan any 35 mm color or black and white negatives. The only 35 mm slides it would not scan are the dark ones that could only see spots of light like distant street lights and such.

I used it to look at old individual slides surrounded by cardboard and it worked well. I have not tried it on 35mm negative strips.

HI, it is possible to scan your old negatives. BUT, handle them with great care and align them without using the "slide holder". If they are wider than the holder unfortunately they will have to be cut down. Visit your local "STAPLES" etc and buy a piece of wafer thin clear Perspex, cut this to be the same size as the "slide holder", use 2 pieces and just trap the neg, use a bit of cellotape on the leading edge to hold the 2 bits together and this will act as a hinge to make it easier to load. Download "picassa" on your pc and you can then remove any dust or other marks from the negs. Have fun, anything is possible.

It won't scan negatives but some users, including me, have had good luck with photos and others have not. It depends on the quality one wants.

Not very well. Slides and film are mounted into templates and pushed through the machine, with only 1" wide area exposed for the light to pass through and provide the digital image. Printed pictures of various sizes can also be processed by placing them on a glass plate like a conventional scanner. However I don't think this would work using a negative.

Yes, and it can scan much longer than that, too. The box says the scan width is 8.3", but the one I have will actually do 8.5". I was able to scan 8.5" x 34" on the low (300dpi) setting.

Absolutely. My only problem with the scanner was that it said that it could scan negatives but failed to say only 35 mm negatives. It scans photos great and I'm happy with the results.

I have only used this product with 35 mm slides. I doubt that it would work with negatives since the negatives are not mounted as slides are.

It will scan 8 1/2" x 11" documents, but not larger. I guess I would divide the larger document to scan it.

I scanned a bunch of old family photos from the 40s-60s, and it did fine, it pulled them straight through using the guides. They were of different sizes so I sorted as best I could and batch scanned the groups. Somewhat difficult to navigate the setting menus to obtain the highest resolution (1200x1200), in color, and the correct size. Much faster and easier than a flat scanner.

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.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

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.

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?
