Scanning Negatives
Dec 24, 2018 11:29:38 #
I have several hundred 110 negatives and some of them quite possibly from when my brother (who is now deceased) who had my Kodak Instamatic while he was in Viet Nam. I have never seen the pictures but have the negatives. I would like to have a piece of equipment that will make these negatives into digital positives. I have found a couple of machines but they are really expensive for a one time use. Does anyone have one they would like to get rid of at a reasonable price. Dawson Berry

I have two surplus scanners; one a Canon the other a Microtek. Both have film holders but 110 needs to lie on the glass. What is your budget before I bore you with all the technical stuff.

You might find a used scanner to do the trick as well, I use an Epson perfection 1260 for 35 mm negatives and slides, BW and color and it works fine.

It may be simpler & easier on your wallet, to just have the 110 negatives printed. Check The Darkroom and Bay Photo. good luck.

you might also consider having them done for you...scanning companies are pretty reasonable...probably for a few hundred negatives it would be cheaper than buying a scanner...i have used https://www.homemoviedepot.com/ in the past and was very happy with the results

I just did the same thing and purchased an epson V600 and was very pleased with the results.
