Scanners for 110mm slides

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I am looking to find a scanner that will do 110mm colour slides. Does anyone know a manufacturer? Thanks so much!!!

Is that really 110 millimetre, or number 110 size film?

Either way, I'd say that there's not much available to scan either extreme.

See if there isn't a way to get the 110s mounted in slide holders then use a slide scanner like the HP PhotoSmart. I had some slides that were set up like that and it worked great. These were 30 year old slides mind you. You might be able to find a bureau who can do this for you.

You might have to jury rig the negs yourself, then crop the output in your photo processing software. But it'll work just fine as long as your negative is smaller than the 36mm x 24mm dimension of the slide mount and you find a way to anchor it.

You can get slide mounts anywhere. If you can't find a bureau to help you mount the 110 negatives, you might have to jury rig something to make the negative fit in the mount (like a piece of thin cardboard with the center cut out to hold the 110 negative.)

Just a thought.
