mrbutterworth Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Has anyone experimented with scanning 35mm film directly on the glass of a flatbed scanner? I would assume that a piece of AN glass (or some sort of diffusion material) would be needed on top of the film to hold it flat, and you would have to scan emulsion side down to avoid Newton rings. <p> Did it work? What did you use to hold the film flat? <p> Also, what do you use to clean the topside glass of a flatbed that is in contact with film? <p> Thanks!

mark_blackman1 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I don't know about toy film, but I regularly scan 10x8 negatives on my Epson 4990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoguy_dl Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I've only done it a few times but works good for me. Just marked a piece of glass so the negs were lined up in the right place. Just clean the scanner glass the same way you would your camera lens. After all it sort of is really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
