    Just wondering if anyone here would have either a loan of or would know where I could rent a Negitive scanner that can take 110mm and 35mm negatives? Just need it for a couple of days max.

    My folks had a bag of about 40 rolls of film that I've just finished developing without them knowing. I'd love to digitise some of them before printing. Some of the rolls are about 35 years old!

    I'm based in Dublin.
    Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

    110 is sort of making a comeback with loom Diana 110 cameras. As for scanning, I shoot 110 now and again and I've got an Epson V500 thats capable of scanning the 110 negs.
    It can be a pain to lie the down flat and straight (you can use coins to hold them flat). I bought a specific 110 neg carrier for the scanner from the states (about $90!!) or you can make your own to fit in the 35mm holders. A lot of my 110 film I shot was old and doesn't develop the greatest. It definitly scans them well. Just don't expect much on the quality side of things!

    I have one too, although I don't have a 110 film adapter, I've managed to scan 110, 120 (6x6 and 6x9), 127, 35mm, and even kodsk disc negatives on it with results ranging from satisfactory on the disc film (which is about 1 square centimetre of negative, and not a very dense emulsion) to magnificent on some of the 120 and 35mm.
    It has built-in hardware for "ignoring" dust (Digital ICE) which softens things a tiny bit sometimes, but keeps you from having to edit out all the dust by hand.

    but.. 40 rolls is going to take you more than a couple of days at any respectable resolution, even if you're doing batch scanning.

    It's also supported by several third-party scanning software applications like Silverfast, although I've tried Silverfast and prefer Epson's own software over it.
