Dieder Bylsma [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: can't do it with glass slide holders because I get really nasty newton rings. Yep. Ouch. 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. Make a mask (heavy paper or plastic) with a cutout the size of the frame that sits on the lower (nearest the scanner lens) glass. Use anti-Newton glass for the upper (nearest the scanner light source) glass. The idea is that the scanner lens/CCD should be looking through either clear glass or no glass, and the anti-Newton glass should press the film onto a 4-sided frame. This won't work for perversely warped frames, but will be fine for most. The anti-Newton glass holder for my scanner (Nikon 8000) only has anti-Newton on the top glass. They think that the unevenness in the film emulsion should prevent Newton rings most of the time. Wrong. But they knew they were wrong and provide masksg. (Actually, I cut my own masks because the masks they provide only mask one frame.) David J.

[filmscanners] RE: suggestions for scanning single frame 110 format?
From: Dieder Bylsma 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 had lousy results with anti-Newton glass, too. Since you only have a limited number to scan, I suggest paying someone else to do it, maybe on a high-end flatbed scanner. -- Ciao, Paul D.

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.

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.

I would think that any of the slide mount manufqacturers would have slide mounts that are 35mm in size but have a window suitable for a 110 film chip ( some may use anti-newtonian glass but some are glassless). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tony Schick Sent: Saturday, January 03, 2004 1:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] Re: suggestions for scanning single frame 110 format?
