[filmscanners] Re: suggestions for scanning single frame 110 format?

["Tony Schick" <tony.schick@adelaide.on.net>]

You can get converter mounts for them. That is, a plastic mount without the
glass sandwich that holds the film, the mount itself fits into a plastic
surround (standard 35mm slide size) that would allow it to go into any film
scanner.

Works perfectly in my Nikon LS4000

I'm new to this list - can you post pictures? If so I'll photograph the
mount and upload it. If not, I'll send it direct. It's called "Kindermann"
made in W Germany. An adapter for 110 format slides

Subject: [filmscanners] suggestions for scanning single frame 110 format?


I have come across a collection of 20 or so single frame clippings
from the old 110 film format.

I'm stuck scratching my head trying to figure out how to scan them
with any sort of scanner. It all boils down to size of the frame
(tiny) and also the inherent curl across the negative which causes it
to bow nicely.

Can't do it with the Nikon film scanner because the curl exceeds its
depth of field.

can't do it with glass slide holders because I get really nasty newton
rings.

can't do it with anti-newton ring slide holders because the
anti-newton device results in an even more grainy result that looks
like the scanner was covered with sand when it was scanning.

any suggestions as to how I could deal with this?

I'm thinking either a way to flatten the acetate base of the film
(how would I do that) or to somehow sandwich it in a way that causes
it to go flat w/o newton rings. But I'm still at a loss for any
practical plans.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
