negative film scanner

[richard4u2]

does anyone use a negative film scanner ? do you know of a good one

Nan has an Epsom V500. It scans negatives (by the strip) and sort them to individual shots on your PC. It scans slides as well. Very user friendly from what I have seen (I am not allowed to touch it :p). Definately worth a look.

I got an Optex one about a year or so ago.
Makes a great quality digital pic, and was only about $80 I think.

I bought one from Target a few months ago for $69 .The brand is called BASE,it is a film strip and slide scanner and is 5 megapixel resolution.Very easy to use and does a really good job

I've been using a Plustek "OptiFilm 7200" a few years old now but does a good job (especially if you have a good neg/slide to start with)

I use an Epson Perfection 1250, featuring 48-bit color and 1200-by-2400-dpi resolution.

It is slow and handles one scan after another. It scans Slides, Plain paper,
Film, Transparencies.

The scanner is a bit old but has never missed a beat.

its a great bit of kit

So with these can you put a strip of negatives in and it will scan them as individual pictures?

My parents have a huge pile of old photographs, negatives and slides that I would love to scan for them, but the thought of doing then one by one turns me off!

Is there any scanner that you can drop a pile of photos in and it will scan them individually (sort of like how with a photocopier you can put a pile of papers in and it copies them all)?

I believe such devices exist - my son, who works for the National Library reviewed purchase options on this sort of device for them last year - I'll have to check with him, but I seem to remember that the cheapest ones they looked at ran into five figure prices.

no there is no scanner that you can drop a pile of photos in and it will scan them individually. you would have to use a flatbed scanner.

however i have feeders on my scanner that scans strips and rolls of negative film, aswell as a feeder that scans 50 35mm slides

see images:

1st image shows slide feeder
2nd image shows negative roll feeder
3rd image shows negative strip feeder

hope this helps

I have a Flat Bed Canon scanner similar to the Epson described by ‘lebanon’.
It works well and you can load up to 12 35mm negatives, or 8 35mm slides, or 4 120 negatives at a time. The only real time consuming thing is touching up the photos after scanning with removing scratches and marks off old negatives.
Does anyone know of a scanner that can handle 110 format negatives as my outlaws family history is stored on this format?

My Zipp slide scanner does. Under $100 at Big W.
