Nice review, but you put the negs in upside down. If you do that to avoid newton rings then don't forget to flip the images after scanning, all the text in your images is mirrored.
Thanks, and yes, my first rolls scanned were all backwards. Thankfully, I caught myself doing it before sooner rather than later. While the color images were scanned the wrong way, the B&W images here were all scanned correctly.
I am interested in a negative scanner but I have my doubts because I have one but I must be moving manually to scan each frame, but I see that you put a complete strip with 5 images, my doubt is when it scans, each frame separates you automatically or it scans you as a single image with the 5 images and I have to cut them in some editor like photoshop ... another thing I see that the video already has a lot that you did there is some other scanner that you recommend a new model that is not very expensive and that automatically scan cuts each frame. I think you can put up to two strips in yours, that speeds up the process, thanks
Whats the difference between these types of printers and the small portable scanners from amazon? I always go to the mall to get my rolls developed and scanner. I could save a lot if I scan then my self. Im new to the film “scanning world”. What features should I look for?
Great video! Since you have probably tested the same lenses with analog and digital bodies, how much resolution do you get with a scanner like this without degradation? It would it be equivalent to a 5MP, 10MP, 16MP,.. camera?
I cant download scangear on my macOS Sierra, do you know what Im doing wrong? (I tried it with the included cd) and with downloads but it just didnt work. Then I tried it on a old windows and it worked....
I'm curious as to the dpi's ... what is the maximum that the scanner will scan? Have you done scans of 120 negs or just 35mm? Have you made enlargements of what you've scanned? If so, how have they turned out?
this Video is great.! this will be my first scanner and I had absolutely no idea what it will be like when I'm working with it. Thank you so much for you effort.! quick questions: Did you test 120 negatives? What are the results? Compared to other scanners, is this a good solution for amateur beginners who want to print 297 x 420 mm?
HI I have CanoScan 9000F. dose it store data that must be deleted before I sell it. I have scanned very important Document on it, do not want anyone to get their hands on.
If I were to insert a template to hold 12 35mm slides instead of four (the individual type, not the stringed together kind) would the scanner be able to scan them since they are color positive, not negative and wouldn't need the back light source?
Some of your film appears to have been scanned backwards. Easy fix in photoshop or Lightroom. It would be best to make sure that the film is in the holders correctly to begin with so that you don't end up with large amounts of photos that need to be fixed. That can get very time consuming and I have had that problem before.
My epson V600 ( The v550 and i think the v650 too) has 8.5 centimeter tall upper window. The canon is the same size or a bit SMALLER. So you cant scan a 10.16cm (4inch) tall sheet film with it. (Also you have a layer too for the films so you cant scan a 8.5cm film with it. Took away 0.6- 1 centimeter for the frame.
QUESTION: Canon apparently no longer makes this scanner. Does anyone know of a high-quality inexpensive scanner that can scan positive slides? ... I have tried the Epson V600 and it is TERRIBLE because the slides are cropped so severely in wrong places. If I only had dozens of slides to scan, I might be able to look past that. But I have THOUSANDS and it would take far too long.
I have a really dumb question - bare with me here. Do these scanners scan film & not just negatives? How do I go about the process of scanning right out of the film cartridge? Is there a machine for that? Can someone, please explain the process?
Well explained. Thanks! But one funny thing in your video look at 3:57 your picture was scant on the wrong side, unless your’e drunk enough to read it. :)
the young man does makes a common mistake and it is a common one.It will never provide a good scan, ever. Setting your scanner at 4,600 ppi is a terrible decision. I did manage prepress house in Foster City and on a full size drum scanner with professional 4x5 chromes was 2,400 ppi as 2,500 was considered "continuos tone", we did not accept 35mm and only scan medium format if the client had nothing else. Today, it is much, much worse as pro films have gone the way of crap, just crap. If you have minute check out continuos tone. In analog you would be lucky to get 3,000 ppi. Since most pix are meant to seen on monitors and not paper a safe smooth scan would be 1600ppi. At 4600 the scanner puts in pixels that aren't there giving a fuzzy -grainy scan ruined from birth. Since NO Film holds even 1/2 of 4,600 you will Always fail, fail. Also, for web work you will need to scale way down anyway. Why OEM"s tout big #'s but not is to get suckers. . I have even seen 9,000+ advertised. I shoot a lot of film have making digital pix with my DS 1015 drum and my 2 Minolta pro's and film with 850 holders on my Epson 750 for large film, up to 8x10. I do not sharpen at all (do that later).
All scanning works best in devisables of 16. I use pro film Like velvia or Kodak ektar in a 120 film size (6x7cm etc) would be best at 1600 but Epson and Minolta scanners have a choice where you can set at 1200. for 4x5 and up 1200 is my choice. For instance, scanning an 8x10 is 384 megabytes. Overkill except for a very large print than you are happy. if you are using 35mm film and it is profilm 1600 is your max.35mm is a little over 1 inch, how in the world have 4,600 ppi?
Interesting. I've had my eyes set on the v700 and 800 and read a ton of reviews saying Canoscan is better and yields better results barring the horrible software this comes with. The only issue I've heard this has (apart from software) is the negative holder where it would yield better results wetscanning with negative directly on top of glass. I'm honestly torn here because a lot of pro scanners are saying this is the better scanner though less expensive.
Well done video with good explanations. This young man is very bright and speaks clearly and preciously. 5 Stars.
I am only starting to look for scanners and appreciated a simple overview of the product.
Thank you :))

Any tutorial for scanning normal paper photos?
Perfect video. Exactly the info I needed. Thanks for doing it!
Great video man! Thumbs up. Very informative, nice editing and good talking :) Keep it up!

Hi Dear, please just tell me, which one scanner its better, Epson V700 or Canon canoScan 9000F MKII? Really now i need one.
Regards
Great video! Since you have probably tested the same lenses with analog and digital bodies, how much resolution do you get with a scanner like this without degradation? It would it be equivalent to a 5MP, 10MP, 16MP,.. camera?
I have not tried this lens with a digital body.
Thanks a lot! I don't know which scanner do I have to use for gallery prints. Can this one be used for 50x70cm photos?
I cant download scangear on my macOS Sierra, do you know what Im doing wrong? (I tried it with the included cd) and with downloads but it just didnt work. Then I tried it on a old windows and it worked....
I just bought this. Can you tell me how to turn a B&W negative into a positive? I can't find anything on how to do that. Thanks.
I'm curious as to the dpi's ... what is the maximum that the scanner will scan? Have you done scans of 120 negs or just 35mm? Have you made enlargements of what you've scanned? If so, how have they turned out?
Neil B Forme 130 megapixels for 120 film is amazing...
this Video is great.! this will be my first scanner and I had absolutely no idea what it will be like when I'm working with it. Thank you so much for you effort.!

HI
I have CanoScan 9000F. dose it store data that must be deleted before I sell it. I have scanned very important Document on it, do not want anyone to get their hands on.
I don't believe it does. All the date will be on your computer. Hope this helps!
Thank you 😊
What scanner would you recommend for scanning 35mm negatives (color and b&w) and hoping to do big prints?
Does the software come with the scanner on a disc?
HI there. Would this scanner do a proper job for 8x11 prints ? Thanks for the nice video.
What kind of resolution do you need to blow up to a gallery sized photo?
How long does it takes per negative? and how is the negative quality?
this is not a review. you just explained what a negative scanner. and you just showed how to "use" this scanner.
Hey - thanks for sharing your review on the scanner. What size pictures do you get on the computer when you scan a 35mm film?
Thanks alot! :)

hey!
which one is better epson v600 or canoscan 9000f mk II?
thanks.
Good question.
i found the v600 unusable making every image flat and washed out.
very neat work man... thank you.
And what is the speed of the scanning?
Do you know how this is different from the 8800F? It looks exactly the same.
If I were to insert a template to hold 12 35mm slides instead of four (the individual type, not the stringed together kind) would the scanner be able to scan them since they are color positive, not negative and wouldn't need the back light source?
No. The light under the lid is aligned just for the two strips on the tray.
thank you for your video!!! but why all letters (product names - Guinness petrol station) are backwards?
He's put the slides in upside down. The 'View From' side needs to be downwards, against the base of the scanner
Awesome! Great Video. Been looking for a scanner like this so I can get into film photography as well.
Some of your film appears to have been scanned backwards. Easy fix in photoshop or Lightroom. It would be best to make sure that the film is in the holders correctly to begin with so that you don't end up with large amounts of photos that need to be fixed. That can get very time consuming and I have had that problem before.
Could I use this to scan 4x5 Film?
Nope, ROLL is the highest, even the epson V600 cant handle 4x5. Sadly.
But what is the size of the window itself?
My epson V600 ( The v550 and i think the v650 too) has 8.5 centimeter tall upper window. The canon is the same size or a bit SMALLER. So you cant scan a 10.16cm (4inch) tall sheet film with it. (Also you have a layer too for the films so you cant scan a 8.5cm film with it. Took away 0.6- 1 centimeter for the frame.
thanks for your effort! its very helpful!

They still make this scanner. I’m looking to buy one myself
I have a really dumb question - bare with me here. Do these scanners scan film & not just negatives? How do I go about the process of scanning right out of the film cartridge? Is there a machine for that? Can someone, please explain the process?
You have to get your film to be develop first.
Thank you for answering!
Well explained. Thanks!
But one funny thing in your video look at 3:57 your picture was scant on the wrong side, unless your’e drunk enough to read it. :)
What microphone are you using?
Thanks :)
I'm using a cheap Azden lav mic plugged into a Zoom H1!
Nice! THX
What is the dpi? Its all that matters really
about 1700 effective dpi, chart-measured
Nice video! Can you scan 120mm negatives with this scanner?
lovely voigtlander
Thank you bro
You're welcome!
I got absolutely no useful info from this video
Sorry to hear that. What is it that you'd like to know that you didn't get out of this video?
CamCrunch for example supported output format, results of dust removal and color restoration, link for actual fullsized scans, etc.
UMTomaS Thanks for the feedback, I'll add what I can.
How cheap was cheap back then? Lol this thing costs $1450 in my country right now 🥴
nice
Thanks for watching!

Phil Di Marino hi. so if i want to scan film, the best settings would be 1600 dpi? please help me with this.

An Epson equivalent provides better looking images...
Like what?
