Description

Custom manufactured film holder for Super 8 mm and Regular 8 mm movie film (Patent Pending). This model is designed for use with Epson Perfection V550 and V600 flatbed film scanners. 8 mm film was created in the 1920s and quickly became the most popular home movie format. Usage of 8 mm film lasted well in to the 1980s until VHS cameras finally became affordable. 8 mm film is still manufactured and continues to have a niche with film students.

A few notes about scanning 8 mm film: 8 mm movie film was never intended to be used (and subsequently scanned) as a still photo format. The frames are extremely small and you cannot expect to extract an image of the same quality you could from a 35 mm film.

Important:

  • This holder requires use of your stock 120 film holder for proper positioning
  • Automatic or "thumbnail" mode will not work with aftermarket film holders. You must scan in full manual mode.
  • You must be willing to cut your film strip down to the size of the holder for scanning. Scanning uncut strips is not possible with this holder.
  • If your Epson 120 OEM has non-removable AN glass, you will need to use your film area guide for proper positioning

We make holders for nearly all film formats

In the 21st century, digital cameras are all the rage. There is an entire generation that likely has never even heard of film cameras. But it is easy to forget that digital imaging has only become widespread in the last 20 years. That means there are over 100 years of film negatives sitting in albums, attics, and basements around the world. Negative Solutions Film Holders makes the products to bring those old memories to digital life. From 126 to 35 mm to 110 film or 127, we likely have what you need.

"This is a fantastic invention. I agitated for YEARS about scanning odd sized negatives and then along came this film holder and it worked perfectly. I was able to finish a project that meant a lot to me. Thank You!" - Negative Solutions Customer
