I have a ton of negatives from the 70's. How many seconds does it take to scan 1 negative?

Just a few. The negative is placed in the scannet & is viewed. Then saved on the memory or memory card.

To load the six slides held by the frame at one time, "scan" each of them, and unload them shouldn't take more than about 15 seconds. How long it takes to organize them once they're transferred to your computer (or wherever else you plan to store them) depends on how complicated a filing system you choose to employ.

This device actually has a small camera rather than a scanner so the actual "scanning" is less than a second.

I never really timed it, but I'd estimate 10 seconds or less. This thing actually works!

Just a second or two. You place 5 slides in at a time and scan one at a time. Loading takes more time than scanning but that doesn't take long. Just make sure you use a high capacity disk. They are cheap and saves time.

The actual scanning takes about 2 seconds. Where the time is involved is in the loading and unloading of the frame that holds the negatives. Figure about 1-2 minutes per frame loading and unloading. It's still worth the doing in order to save those old pictures.

I have never tried the discs. The scanner doesn't have anything that would accommodate them. If you are willing to cut up the discs, you could probably fit the negatives in the tray that is made for 110 negatives, but I don't see any other way to scan them with this scanner.

You would have to create your own negative holder (or buy a custom one) and scan in professional mode with the thumbnail option unchecked. 616/116 negatives seem to have a width of ~63mm while the medium format negative holder has a width of around ~57mm. This is probably not the best scanner for this purpose. You might look into a scanner that can do 4x5 sheet film, or into buying two pieces of ANR (anti newton ring) glass to sandwich the negative in (black construction paper may also work).

I have not used it for negatives yet, only slides. They slip into a tray that is fed manually through the box. There is no auto advance. I have used other scanners in the past, and I am extremely pleased with this one.

you would be better off using a regular photo scanner. the epson takes 20 min to do a photo scan. it is great for negs. and slides.

Only one line at a time, but scanning one line only takes you 2 seconds, so I think 20 lines is not a problem for you.

Four slides, 6-8 35mm negatives. Takes about 2 1/2 minutes per scan on the slides to get a usable image.

I have not used these, but there are three sizes of negative templates for this scanner bed, and I believe one is for your 120 format requirement.

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.

I have a unit but I have never yet used it do to a bust schedule. I assume it would scan in less than 30 seconds . . . . as most scans that size are about the same.

I did scan some very old negatives from the '30s, but it is not easy. Back then, negitives were in all kinds of shapes and sizes. The scanner does just fine, but the software is poor. I did this a few years ago, so as I remember, I used Gimp on a Linux machine. Otherwise, the Epson software expects the negative to fit into one of the included frames. Using this process, it took a few minutes of fiddle with the settings to scan just one negative.

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.

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.

I've scanned 35mm slides and negatives that were more than 30 years old with out any problems. much better than scanning a old photo.

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?

I purchased an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. It scans slides, pictures and negatives. The scanner takes 4 slides at a time. Worked great. I had about 1500 slides from the 60s. The Kaiser Mini let me sort thru them quickly. Was a great winter project.

it depends on the resolution you want to scan - if you chose 1 before the best, it would scan about 4 photos per minute. they don't have to be the same size; the tray only takes about 10 photos / pages at a time though - otherwise the fujitsu S1500 may be a better choice (double the price...)
