Visit My eBay Store: Negative SolutionsThis is a 126 slide holder for use with select Canon and Epson film scanners
(US Patent Pending). This holder will work with the following scanners:
Canon CanoScan 8400/8600/8800/8900/9000/9950 and Mark I
I
Epson Perfection 4990 (requires film area guide)
Epson Perfection V550/V600
HP ScanJet G4050
(HP use requires additional purchase of: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274039510759)
This was CAD designed and manufactured for use with the obsolete 126 film format introduced by Kodak in 1963. Used commonly in Kodak "Instamatic" cameras, production of 126 film ended in 2008. Mounted 126 slide mounts were 2" x 2" so technically a Canon 35 mm slide holder will work with them. The issue is that the image 126 cameras recorded was square, unlike the rectangular shape of 35 mm images. Thus trying to scan a 126 slide in a 35 mm slide holder will result in cropping of the original image.
This adapter is for use with 2" x 2" (50.8 x 50.8 mm) mounted 126 slides.
Cardboard mounted slides occasionally varied in their outer dimensions. Please make certain that the slides you intend to scan do not have outer dimensions that exceed 2" x 2" (50.8 x 50.8 mm)
. Note: 126 film cartridge pictured above is for demonstrative purposes only. 126 film is not included with this item.
Specifications for the 126 slide holder:
Overall: 199 mm x 55 mm
Scanning window: 27 x 27 mm
(comes with two trays, 3 windows each)
Material: Solid Plastic
Important
:
This negative holder is designed to sit inside the stock 120 film holder (directly on the glass) that shipped with your Canon or Epson scanner. Utilizing your 120 OEM holder may not be strictly necessary with some scanners, but utilizing your stock holder aids in proper positioning and can help avoid calibration and focus issues.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
: Ebay has recently changed rules for international buyers. If you are buying multiple items from the same seller you can no longer combine shipping. Ebay will also require you to pay immediately so I am not able to send you an invoice for combined shipping. Unless something changes (or unless you know of a way to combine shipping that I haven't found yet), your only option is to buy and pay for each item separately. This will likely result in overpayment of shipping charges. I always refund overpayment of combined shipping charges, but unfortunately Ebay charges sellers a 10% commission on the original shipping charge and will not refund the difference. I will continue to refund overpayment of shipping on multiple items, but in the future I will have to deduct the 10% commission that Ebay sticks me with. I apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully Ebay will change this practice soon!
Satisfaction is guaranteed!

Important additional notes:
- If you are buying my holders for resale, please be aware that my products are more about "function" over "form." This is why they are so inexpensive compared to other commercially produced options. Each holder is custom made and may contain spot sanding and other finishing marks. I do my best to clean my products up cosmetically, but due to sales volume I simply can't spend a lot of time on it. My main concern is that it works like it is supposed to. As a result, if you are reselling please be aware that you may need to do some more finishing work suitable for a retail environment.
- Aftermarket holders for odd film sizes will usually require the ability to manually scan film strips with "thumbnail" modes turned off. Depending on your model and software, masking of individual frames for scanning may be necessary for the best results. Please ensure you know how to set your scanner/software for full manual control. Simply pushing a green button on the front of your scanner (common with Epson models) to scan a film strip will not work with most aftermarket film holders.
- Please pay particular attention to the "handling" days before shipping as noted above. I do not typically maintain an inventory of my film holders as most are custom made upon order placement. As such, I ask for 5 business days handling before shipping. My average is likely around 2 days, but there are occasions where orders are very high and I may need all 5 business days before I am able to ship your holder. Please keep this in mind.
