The bed is letter-sized, so the length is there. You should be able to mask the sides. And somewhere, I have a slide-masking template which will process two slides at once. I don't know if you will need a light to shine through the film for the scanner to pick it up properly. There is no arrangement on that cover for a light. The cover hinges will pull out about an inch, so if you can find a flat light that is no thicker than that inch, you would be able to do it. So, yes, if you can satisfy yourself on that cover light.........

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.

Probably but I never tried it so I can give you an informed answer. I did tried standard sized negatives and it did very well.

No, it can't. I've got mine here, and it is not 11 inches wide, only a little more than 8 1/2" wide. It can scan long pages, longer than 11 inches, but I've not found a way to do wider than the machine.

I am looking at the V500 compared to the 4490. Any suggestions? The reviews all rave about the V500 for slides and negatives, which I too plan to scan, but I also have many old photos.

The feeder trays are for 35mm slides and negatives. larger film would not fit in this scanner.

I just ran some tests w 11x17. Fits on platen with room to spare. The scanner does pick up the full 11" width. However it seems to stop 5/8" short of the entire length. That is true for both Tabloid 11x17 and A3 settings in the software. Not sure if I am missing something in the software or if this is truly a limitation of this scanner. All other things considered, I am very happy with this unit, and that is after having several Brother MFCs over the years.

I sent this scanner back because it stinks. If you are getting this scanner for home use that would probably be ok. But if you are needing to scan alot this is not the scanner. Yes it will scan 11X17.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that question. I've never scanned neg's. I'd call Canon. From what was sent w/ the scanner for negatives, my inclination would be to answer that 3 x 5 may be too large. But, they may have something you can purchase aftermarket. Sorry. Sharon

No, you will have to develop your film first. If you try with undeveloped film, you will ruin the film by exposing it to light. This scanner works with negatives and/or slides (positives).

I am not completely sure on that question. I have not used this for negatives as of yet. But on the box it says "scan slides and negative, including medium format". I'm not sure if the 120 negatives you are referring to are considered medium format. If they are, then I suppose this answers your question. If not, sorry I could not be of more assistance.

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?

Michael, it includes (or did when I got mine) the negative holder for medium format negatives, and the software may auto recognize the frames. In general, you will end up having to use the full driver to acquire the image, but since you were acquiring from a better source to begin with, you would want to use the full driver anyway.Be sure to dust the negative and the scanner before starting, as the dust removal works to some extent, but you want clear images, so take the extra time to clean the hardware and image first.

The Epson Perfection V300 will scan negatives. I think it would work for your negatives. You would have to try it to be sure.

I would say no. It is not wide enough. It can only scan up to about 8.5 inches wide. I think most blue prints are wider than that. The length would not b e a problem

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.
