I bought one thinking it would support 35mm slides...funny that some of their all in one scanner printers have adaptable trays but not this one. What a rip!

what a disappointment I thought this would be a good product u yet it does c scan 35 mm slides

After downloading the product manual, it says "35mm slides are NOT supported." Yeesh! What a shame. I guess the cheapest Canon that can support it is the 5600F. The Epson V300 has good reviews, though, too.

I doubt it. The adapter is designed for 35mm slides in 2 x 2 frames. I've scanned some 126 format slides because they're also mounted in 2 x 2 frames but a little of the top and bottom gets cropped.

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.

If you ordered the Veho VFS-002m, then you got a holder for 110 as well as 35mm. You also get a holder for slides. It all works great. I've already used mine for both 110 negatives and some 35mm. If you haven't ordered yet, then read the description. It tells you what all you get with it.

I have used my Canon LiDE with my old Windows XP PC, my old Vista Laptop, and my 2011 MacBook. I haven't tried it with my Windows 7 PC. Whenever I hooked the scanner up with these computers, I didn't even think about whether there were issues with compatibility or drivers. But, since you asked, I just did some research and found out that most scanners, including the LiDE 100, are TWAIN-compliant. Basically, what that means is that all the operating system techno people had to get together years ago to standardize the interface/drivers between hardware (such as scanners and printers) and operating systems (Windows, Mac, etc). Before that, it was a sort of a "never the twain shall meet" fiasco. Things are TWAIN-compatible for the most part now. I can't imagine the Canon Scanner NOT being compatible with Windows 8/8.1. If it isn't, you can go to Canon and download any special drivers. http://support-in.canon-asia.com/contents/IN/EN/0100133801.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWAIN

I have the Canoscan 8400F. I can tell you how I do it on that scanner. Basically, I trick the scanner into thinking that it's scanning 120 film. I typically put the the 120 adapter into place, and then lay 3 strips of 110 film in the adapter. If the film doesn't want to lie flat, since it can't be held down by the adapter, I place a couple of high quality microscope slides on the film to hold it flat, making sure that the edges of the slides fall at a break between negatives. I set the scanner at its highest resolution, which on the 8400F is 3200 ppi. Then using the selection tool, I select about three negatives at a time to scan. I separate them later using Photoshop Elements by cutting and pasting. I scan them as if they were transparencies rather than negatives. The large amount of white space surrounding the negatives causes the scanner to misinterpret the colors if they are scanned as negatives. The scanner always says that an image consisting of three 110 negatives is about 50 megs, but it never actually is that large when you examine the file after it is saved. Once I have the scanned image, I then open the image in Photoshop Elements, cut and paste the individual negatives as separate files, and then process. First I run autocontrast, then auto color correct, then auto levels, and finally invert the image to a positive. Then I do any touchup and final color and noise adjustment. I've probably processed about a thousand 110 negatives this way and usually get pretty good results. I assume you could do something similar with the 8800F. The biggest problem I get is the presence of Newton rings, but I can usually correct that by rescanning, or post processing if they aren't too serious.

Kathleen,No, this printer has no ability to scan 35mm slides. It just has a normal flatbed (document-size) scanner. While another answer suggests that it might be possible, flatbed and 35mm scanners work differently. I would never attempt to use this to scan film. You might also check Epson. They have good printers and models that do scan both documents and slides or film negatives.

So far, I have only scanned 35mm slides, but it is my understanding that the answer to your question is "yes."

From HP's website: Transparent materials adapter (TMA) specifications Up to sixteen 35 mm slides, thirty 35 mm negative frames, up to two medium format film frames (120 roll film), or one large format film frame (220 roll film). Media capacity Slide: 1.05 mm to 3.26 mm thick and 49.8 mm to 50.8 mm on any side Although the scanning surface would probably accommodate other sizes I think you would need to be able to fit the transparencies into a holder. The holder keeps the transparencies a few millimeters from the scanning surface and it is all probably to do with light and contrast to obtain a good post scan image. I hope this helps.

Hi Kathryn (same spelling as my daughter). I previously tried to use a film scanner that I never got going - software clash or faulty - I don't know. What I liked about the SVP was that it is stand alone, scans to an SD card, jpg files. That way as long as your computer can read a sdcard (via a sdcard reader slot or a USB sdcard memory reader - about $10NZ) you can get your pictures. The other beauty is that last weekend I was asked to mind the gallery for a couple of hours so I took the SVP scanner, some negs (the SD card 32Gig) had lunch and and scanned 7 rolls of films. So YES it should be okay for a mac. Enjoy, regards Murray Hi Kathryn (same spelling as my daughter).

Hi Daniel M. Why would you want to change when the film2sb has a slide holder as well. It is a seven inch long holder, just drop 25 or so slides into the chamber ( stacked ), then slide the holder to the right to engage the first slide to drop, slide to left to view on the screen, click "ok" if it looks good and ok again to capture on the provided memory 2gb card. Do the same process again to eject the chosen slide and continue as before. I captured 300 very old cardboard half frame mounts all on to the memory card. Each slide takes3 or 4 seconds. Do you have a slide handler as well as a film handler, the slide handler is normally with the unit. So very easy, I was amazed. Hi Daniel M.

I have the same question! I am looking for something to scan the old black and white negatives- larger ones than 35mm. Have you found a scanner that will do that, mt gal? If you do, can you let me know at dlamp3300@aol.com ? Thanks

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.

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.

Unfortunately you cannot scan directly to the computer with this device. The scanner scans directly onto a memory card inserted into the scanner. You then have a switch on top you can toggle (scan/pc) that turns the device into a memory card reader for accessing the images. I would have preferred the option of scanning directly to the PC myself but there is a plus side. The scanner itself proves to be quite mobile, you don't need to have it attached to the PC or the PC turned on to operate it. This is handy should a friend have slides they want scanned in, you can just bring the scanner over to their house and scan away. I will say this though, after using it now for a while, I'll probably end up buying a different scanner. The image quality can be great on some shots, but on others, the automatic adjustments can give you a "washed out" image that's overly bright. For instance, on a slide of someone wearing a yellow dress, with the brightness and automatic image adjust, the scanned image makes them look like they are wearing a white dress and the image looks a bit soft and fuzzy (and there's no way to turn off or disable the automatic image adjust). Buy the scanner if you're looking for a cheap quick portable and very easy way to scan slides, don't buy it if you want the very best image available and aren't bothered about price or portability.

Patricia--you are a life-saver! Thanks so much for taking the time to put together your tutorial. I've been paying between 75 cents and $1 each to scan my Dad's slides. With over 1,500 more to go this is definitely more cost effective. I had an HP scanner that supposedly did slides but the results were nothing like what you are able to get on your 4400.

Good Morning Frank. I have not tried to scan slides yet, still working on scanning a zillion old photos. On the photo scanning side, the Wolverine works great, very straight forward, a quick scan to a memory card, good quality. With a half page scanning window, extra large photos, like class picture/wide angle photos cannot be scanned - don't have many of those. Reading instructions, Wolverine scans one slide at a time.Hope this helps. Tom
