Does Plustek 8100i scan negatives larger than 35mm?

No. There are holders for 35mm slides and negatives, and that is the size of the area scanned.

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.

Sure, no problem. I usually scan at 300 dpi but I think it can even go higher. Saves as a JPEG or whatever you want!

No. It only scans documents, photos, etc, that are 8 1/2 inches X 11 inches or smaller.

It does scan 35 mm film; I haven't tried those but I did try to scan an 8 x 10 black and white which did okay but when you scan that size, you can only scan at a very low dpi so it was not a quality scan. Okay, but not quality. It does scan 35 millimeter at a much higher dpi and I suspect those would be pretty high quality.

I recently used my scanner to scan some older negatives (from 1958) that were larger than 35 millimeter film. Just laid it on the glass surface and it worked fine. Had 2 negatives that were badly curled, so I held 2 edges down with thin flat pieces of plastic~ this worked great also.

There are two caddies that come with the scanner. One does normal slides and 35 mm negatives. The other one has an opening that is 2 1/4 x 8 1/2. I think you could do the slides there. I have used it for older over-sized negatives with good results.

No nothing larger than 35MM. I don't think anything larger will fit in the holder. 126 film can be scanned but you will loose the top 4MM.

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).

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.

No, most negatives are in a five or six shot strip which won't fit down inside the viewer slot (unless you shove only one end of the strip in) and then they'd be inverse to view anyway. Slides or transparencies only I'm afraid. For negatives, try a light table or tray to sort and view or a scanner with negative capability.

Yes, it will scan the slides; but , as you suggest, you will have to take them out of their frames. There is a holder for 35mm slides, but not 2-1/4. One alternative, if you want to leave them in the holders, would be to lay the slides out in the 8x10 frame, choose Document Type: "Reflective (with film area guide)" then scan as a group. You'd need to go back with Photoshop and "cut" the individual images apart. I sometimes use the option "Reflective (with film area guide)" to scan odd size negatives and transparencies.

As far as I can see from Plustek's web site, the OpticFilm 8100iSE has an additional feature, a built in infrared channel for detecting dust and scratches, plus enhanced software that works with this detection feature. I use Photoshop to do my own image enhancements and edits so I decided not to pay the extra for this feature. However, for anyone who doesn't normally use other software to clean up images and their negatives are not clean and have scratches, then this feature would be worth the few dollars extra. It would be useful for someone who had thousands of negatives and time required to clean them up is important to consider.

We have been successful with slides, and there is a 35mm tray for negatives, but I do not believe they accommodate 110 negs.

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.

Most of what I have (90-95%) are Black & White negatives, and I see from a review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/CS9000/9000F.HTMthat FARE is disabled for B&W; film (it thinks the whole emulsion is dust).Have you scanned many B&W; negatives?Also, have you scanned any contact prints/proof sheets (I imagine it does those just fine, but I just remembered those?If this does good with B&W; negatives - then that's' what I'm looking for - as I need a general purpose scanner too.

I haven't tried black and white negatives but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. As I have said to others, the best results for this unit are scanning actual prints. This unit will scan negatives at 1200 dpi but there may be better negative scanners out there. This is a great unit for scanning a large pile of prints to an SD card at a low cost (still very time consuming).
