Be Excellent To Each Other

My mum mentioned to me the other day that she'd found a load of old negative during a clearout. I naturally asked her to send them to me to digitize for the ages and, being an impulsive type, ordered one of these. I haven't yet received the scanner, but I have now got the negatives.

They're not 35mm, they're 110 format. Bugger. Am I still going to be able to use the scanner for this, or is it going to take a further investment?

If they fit in the device, it should be fine, though it sounds like they're a fair bit smaller and will more than likely require cropping each output image if they're in strips.

Don't negatives degrade over time? My dad bought a negative scanner but it turned out a lot of his old pictures had a green tint over them as they'd degraded.

There was a lot that was OK though but it's worth bearing in mind.

As for whether they'll work... aren't the negatives in a sealed case? You'll probably have to break them out of that.

No, they're in strips, so I think Malabelm might be right. The images are about a quarter the size of 35mm though so it might result in titchy images

Just scan at a high dpi setting you should be fine.

Not sure what sort of control I'm going to get with the film scanner. If it's crap I'll have to see if I can source a flatbed from somewhere.

Sorry, just seen what you ordered. Looks like it takes a photo than makes a pass across the neg. Hopefully it will be fine though judging by the reviews.
