[filmscanners] RE: Full frame scans

["LAURIE SOLOMON" <LAURIE@ADVANCENET.NET>]

It is possible for 35mm and maybe some of the smaller medium format sizes -
645 and 6x6 - on the Minolta Scan Multi and Multi II (I do not know about
the Multi Pro, although I suspect it is possible there too).  However, I do
not think you would like the process with respect to 35mm and 645 formats.

First you would need to cut the film down to individual or sets of two
frames.  Second you would have to put those frames in the glass medium
format holder (in the case of 645 in a larger medium format glass holder)
such that they were in the center section that the scanner will scan at the
maximum optical resolution without interpolation.  Third you would have to
preview and scan each frame individually.

As for the black borders you would have to do that yourself in Photoshop.

Can any of the new crop of medium format scanners have their film holders
modified to produce full frame scans for both 35mm and 120mm formats?

I like the filed out film holder approach, which reveals some film base, and
yields a black border around the frame.
