I’ve got a decade’s worth of 4x6 pictures and negatives from my childhood. Would something like this help me digitize them?

- kmoser 10mo agoPresumably the negatives, but not the pictures, as this is intended to scan only negatives. You'd probably have better luck with a cheap flatbed scanner that comes with adapters for slides and negatives. (I've used both dedicated film scanners and flatbed scanners to scan thousands of rolls of film and prints taken over a span of 50 years.)
- throwup238 10mo agoNo. 4x6 negatives are large format and requires a different type of scanner (flat bed). If you look at the photos the 35mm roll slides into the device so you can’t fit a larger format sheet into the feed.
- xdennis 10mo agoYou might be confusing 4x6 inch prints with 4x5 inch film. 35mm typically uses 2:3 ratio images, often printed as 4x6 inch pictures.
- throwup238 10mo agoDoh! You’re right.
- gyomu 10mo agoWell, this 35mm scanner will be helpful for neither 4x6cm medium format film, nor 4x6in pictures :)
