Can I scan size 120 slides with this scanner?

If the 120 slide is the small one I'm thinking of, but the border is the same size as a regular side, then it's no problem. The slide adapter that comes with scanner if for slides whose cardboard or plastic border is 2x2 inches. If not, them I'm not sure. I've done some creative things with odd size negatives, and got away with it.

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.

I used it to scan 35 mm slides... It also can scan 35 mm negs... But don't believe it will scan larger negs... Not 100% sure though... Hope that helps

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

You can only scan to an SD cardIt's super easy. I did 1000 slides in 2 dayYou can edit in any photo program like Picasa

I would have to say No to that one. The one I have - The scanning surface is 8.75" by 12" and as I recall the legal size is 8.5" by 14" so it will NOT take that the additional 2". Other than that it has been very good for most of my needs. Hope this is of help to you.

No, the width of the scanner is only 8.5" so it is best for scanning standard-sized pages.

Have you used this scanner for a mounted 35mm slide? What is the ease of use and the quality of the scan? I am looking for a scanner to scan many, many slides from my father and need ease of use as well as scan quality.Many thanks,Helen

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.

This scanner is only suitable for paper upto 120 gsm thickness,for cards it is better to use a flatbed scanner

Yes, it can scan 120 panoramic negatives. There is a negative holder for this use.

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.

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.

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.

Sorry I can't answer that question as I never used it to scan slides. Everything else scans beautifully, though.

Yes, there is an insert that allows you to scan four slides at once but, more importantly, saves them as individual separate images. It's quite handy and is much faster than doing one slide at a time. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a full size scanner and will take a sizable footprint on your desk, approximately 18.5 X 10.5 inches.

Probably not. The holders are sized for 35mm film or slides. You could ask the maker if they have any other scanners.
