Does this scanner work for negatives too?

I don't think this scans negatives. There are other ones out there that can do that.

No I don't believe so. In my opinion, this is a pretty basic scanner. Worth the money but needs more features.

I have had a number of epson scanners/printers, and they usually come with an accessory for negatives if it is a feature of that model. Call customer service epson and ask if that model # has that feature.....

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?

Yes, but it's a small price to pay. Other scanners that I used had an open window that didn't scratch, but I found that the slight bend or curl of the negative would cause focus issues. This holder keeps them flat. Best thing is to trim the leading edge of the negative, wipe it gently with a lint free cloth and don't feed any tape or labels that may be attached to the film through it.

Yes, this scanner can scan negatives besides 35mm. It comes with a holder to neatly hold 35mm film, and it also comes with a holder to neatly hold 120 film (120 film is a medium format film, most common I'd say around the 1940s - 1960s, it's usually 6 cm wide, but the length of each individual shot can vary). It is *possible*, but not very easy, to scan other formats of film on here (such as 126 film or 110 film). The reason it's not very easy is because the scanner does not come with a designated holder to hold negatives of those sizes, so you basically just have to lay the negative on the glass, and try to get the edges of the negative to not curl up too much, and pray that you're laying it down exactly straight so that it doesn't scan at an angle (the film holders are designed so that the film is lined up exactly straight).

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'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.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

Yes. When you load a color or B&W; negative into the scanner, you see the image as a positive. During the setup, you must indicate whether you are loading negatives or slides (which are positive images). There is a bit of a learning curve to using the scanner - but nothing too terribly confusing. The instructions that come with it will walk you through.

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.

Hello jerseyboyI feel that you can convert negatives. Although this scanner did not come with a negatives converter like the Epson perfection 2480 -2580 if you can get your hands on one (black plastic with pre-cut holes and slightly raised to allow focusing) plus the instruction book that came with that scanner it will probably work since this V330 is easier to operate.. I think Epson did omitted that piece of plastic because most people did away with negatives with the instant cameras and smart phones. Hope information helps.

Yes, "guruofvinyl" is correct. There is a setting in the software to scan negatives. It's quite effective.

It won't scan negatives but some users, including me, have had good luck with photos and others have not. It depends on the quality one wants.

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.

Yes, it is built into the firmware of the scanner. There is no separate software on a disk provided. During setup, you select the Film Type to be scanned - Negatives, Slides (Positives), or B & W. The firmware converts the Negative color images to Positives automatically. I personally have not scanned any Negatives, but I see that other reviewers have done so, with good results. This scanner is completely stand-alone. It does not need a computer to perform its scanning tasks. The stored JPG images can then be transferred to a computer for any further processing as desired.

No. Scanner is marginal and only scans single pages. Scanner is in the trash.
