can I view old camera negatives not 35mm

Yes you can. However, you will need some way to illuminate the negative from below. I use a light table that I made myself many years ago. It is just a wooden box with a white 1/4 inch plexiglass top. Inside the box are two fluorescent lights. I use the box with the Lumi-Loupe to examine slides and sometimes negatives. You can search Amazon for "light table" and find some ready-made solutions. They make some tables that use LEDs and I might even buy one of them myself as they are more compact than my current set-up! Good luck!

Sorry - 35 mm slides, negative, mounted 110MM slides, and 110 negatives only. You probably need to go to a flatbed scanner that's designed to handle the larger stuff. That's what I ended up doing.

This equipment does come with a tray for the usage of the old 110mm films - 35mm films and even the slide type of films. But what sort of "old disc negatives" are you referring to? The ones ( 110 mm, 35mm, and slide films) this machine uses are the ones that is still being use today but rarely since all has been using digital with SD cards. I gave this machine to someone else since I can't use it to my laptop and will not operate. It is because my laptop at the time is a refurbished one. But I did check what was inside the box and tried it before I finally gave it to someone esle. Sorry.

This particular scanner, the Kodak 4x6 P461, has a specific feeder into which you insert the negatives. It seems to me that it would not work for negatives that are not 35mm in size. I have not researched other scanners to see if they would be able to scan other negative sizes. Good Luck!

You may have to buy or build an adapter but it can scan negatives. When you preview the scan, make sure the "thumbnail" box is not checked. This will scan the entire negative area and you can select the area to scan manually.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

No, most negatives are in a five or six shot strip which won't fit down inside the viewer slot (unless you shove only one end of the strip in) and then they'd be inverse to view anyway. Slides or transparencies only I'm afraid. For negatives, try a light table or tray to sort and view or a scanner with negative capability.

I have lots of 110 negatives and unfortunately I could not scan them. I tried sliding them in and holding in place, but it wouldn't work for me. But it works great on 35's.

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

Not very well. Slides and film are mounted into templates and pushed through the machine, with only 1" wide area exposed for the light to pass through and provide the digital image. Printed pictures of various sizes can also be processed by placing them on a glass plate like a conventional scanner. However I don't think this would work using a negative.

There is only one opening at the top of the viewer, so there would be no way to view a 35mm strip completely. You may be able to see the photos at each end, but that would be all.

Yes, it will. I have scanned many 35mm color and B&W; negatives. The negative strip fits perfectly into the holder. Be sure to handle the negatives correctly and perhaps even wipe them gently with a lens cloth to remove dust. Even better, buy a can of compressed-gas. Scan them at very high resolution and you'll be amazed at the clarity.

Yes and no.. you can take the picture but it will still be in the negative format. You'd need a program like photoshop to reverse the image. Or maybe see if your camera has a way to reverse the image when you're taking the shot. A lot of digitals have cool effects built in.

I know the mp980 has film guide for scanning negatives and slides. I believe it backlights them also (but I don't have it to know for sure).

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

The best way to describe the picture size is to imagine the old school 35mm camera film and double the size of the the film negative. The pictures are not huge, but you will be able to see the images clearly.
