 Getting positives from old odd sized negatives. - henry k
I have quite a few old negatives and would just like to see if there is anything on them that I recognise from my Grandmother and Mothers lives, including rare photos of my father.

There does not seem to be many flat bed scanners that handle 120, 620,Brownie negatives and they are expensive, £170-£200, for what will probably be a one off exercise.
e.g Canon Canoscan 9000F or Epson Perfection V550

On Youtube I have seen various attempts at a DIY light source to then use a normal flat bed scanner.
Has anyone attempted this ?
I have some LED light sources and could make a pyramid type holder.
Possible buy a negative holder.
Below shows the regular holders for four slides or two x 35mm strip films or the Brownie negatives.
