Film-Photo Scanner Inquiry

[FrankoSport05]

Greetings ...

I am considering getting a scanner with 35mm slide/negative scanning capability.

KEY QUESTIONS

Suppose you have some old negatives that are cut into individual frames, as opposed to a complete 4-frame strip. Are there adaptors that compensate for the individual frames?

I am also considering using plastic 35mm slide mounts to handle the individual negatives. If anyone has tried this method, please let me know how it worked out.

Thanx-A-Lot and Happy New Year (http://fgf2001.100megsfree3.com/NewYear/) from Frank-0-Sport

I've never tried the plastic slide mounts, but I use a Microtek flatbed film scanner. Since it has a lid that comes down on the negative, it doesn't matter how long or short my negative strip is. It even will go as large as a 4x5 negative. Hope this helps a little.

Thank you for your reply. Could you please tell me the model number of your Microtek Scanner.

It's actually a ScanMaker 5900. It's close to a year old now, so I know they've got more advanced ones out now.
