does this scan black and white negatives?

I haven't tried that yet but it is supposed to scan any 35 mm color or black and white negatives. The only 35 mm slides it would not scan are the dark ones that could only see spots of light like distant street lights and such.

I haven't tried to scan any negatives yet - still working on slides. I'm sure that it will scan any negative though since it scans what it sees whether it is color or black & white.

I haven't tried black and white negatives but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. As I have said to others, the best results for this unit are scanning actual prints. This unit will scan negatives at 1200 dpi but there may be better negative scanners out there. This is a great unit for scanning a large pile of prints to an SD card at a low cost (still very time consuming).

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

Wondered if this machine will scan black and white negatives that are larger format than 35 mm. Our historical society has many old negatives.

Yes. On top of scanner is a button that says C/BW and shows up on the scanner screen as color. Mono for black and white. Push the button for which one you want.

Yes. It can scan slides (positives) and film negatives, but you need different holders for each. I recommend that you buy a couple of extra holders (slide or strip) if you have much to do.

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.

Absolutely. My only problem with the scanner was that it said that it could scan negatives but failed to say only 35 mm negatives. It scans photos great and I'm happy with the results.

Most of what I have (90-95%) are Black & White negatives, and I see from a review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/CS9000/9000F.HTMthat FARE is disabled for B&W; film (it thinks the whole emulsion is dust).Have you scanned many B&W; negatives?Also, have you scanned any contact prints/proof sheets (I imagine it does those just fine, but I just remembered those?If this does good with B&W; negatives - then that's' what I'm looking for - as I need a general purpose scanner too.

I have never used it, but there is a menu choice in professional mode for either black and white or color negatives. I have used it to digitize slides as jpeg files and it worked fine.

Absolutely NOT. The scanner's light source will only cover up to a 35mm negative or slide's image area. I was hoping to do 2-1/4 negatives and super slides but there's no possible way. It does 35mm's and flat art just great, though.

If the photo is flexible, it should scan. I have not tried, for my NeatDesk puts a line on the left side of things in color mode, and I have struggled with Neat to get it replaced. So while I am in that process I only use it in black and white mode.

I do not believe the scanner can process negatives. It does come with a special tray for slides.

Yes, in the setup you can select with a press of the button to reverse color negative film. Easily done and it works because I inadvertently reversed a transparency into a negative image!

It will scan photographic paper, but the results do not compare with a good quality flatbed scanner. Adequate if you are in a pinch....

yes, but you do have to tell it what kind of film it is i.e. B&W neg,color neg,color slide, it gives great resolution and color rendition...it also comes with photoshop elements (my unit did ) another thing you can scan 2 1/4 film.thats one big pic. I have had this unit for a few years. and it does good work. also, I went to college and majored in photography, so I have some experience in film...

Mine will only scan negatives. There is one out there that also does slides but this one isn't it. Unless you want to take your slides out of their cardboard holders and scan them as negatives.
