From: Nick on 2 Feb 2010 06:38 I have a Nikon Coolscan V scanner with a SA-21 adaptor. I have managed to scan many 35mm negatives and slides without any problems. However, I have some old negatives dating back to the 1970s; I am not sure what size they are. The strip height of these negatives is same as 35mm but they only have one sprocket hole at the bottom of each frame. Could they be 120 size? Anyway I tried inserting one of these negatives into the SA-2 adaptor and it throws it immediately; just will not accept it. Is there any way to get this scanner to scan this size negatives? Is there another adaptor?

I have no idea other than that they are definitely not 120 size. 120 film is about 60mm wide and with no perforations.

From: Jethro Pull on 2 Feb 2010 07:11 I have the Coolscan 5000ED which, of course, is the best. And I also have an Epson 500V scanner. Both have ICE. Find someone who has the Epson. They should be able to handle the scan provided that the width of the film strip is the same as 35mm. On 2/2/2010 6:38 AM, Nick wrote: > I have a Nikon Coolscan V scanner with a SA-21 adaptor.

You should be able to scan those images using an FH-2 or FH-3 inserted into your MA-21 slide film adapter. I don't think that's 120, which I think is taller.
