As with the 8800F, that makes it worth considering if you're primarily interested in prints, but want the ability to scan film occasionally as well. In particular, it does an extremely good job with photographic prints but is less impressive for film (slides and negatives). Perhaps unsurprisingly, it closely parallels the 8800F in both strengths and weaknesses. One step up in Canon's line from the CanoScan 8800F ($199.99 direct, ) that I reviewed two years ago, the CanoScan 9000F Film and Negative Scanner ($249.99 direct) is Canon's latest high-end consumer-level flatbed scanner.

You can't just lay anything on the platen under that area - it won't work.
I have to use these mounts because they fit the light source in the lid, which is revealed when you unclip the FAU protective sheet - see below. You would think it would be easy to just lay a slide down in the gap in the middle - but no, if the scanner isn't sensing any actual film, it tells you and won't work! Thanks for your reply, but I'm pretty limited with this scanner? To start with, I only have one other mount I can use (apart from 35mm negative film), in addition to the 35mm slide one - this is for 120 Format film, see below.
Because they fitted in the holder, I thought I wouldn't have a problem - until I went to the custom settings in the IJ Scan Utility, and realised that the only setting available for film was 35mm? (Of course, what happens then is that the Utility 'cuts out' a 35mm-sized rectangle, giving me only the middle bit of my slide!) Please see pic below to see what type of slide I'm talking about here. However, some the older slides are bigger - when I say bigger, I mean that they are still a 50mm square shape, but the actual slide inside is a 38mm square (rather than a 'normal' 23 x 34mm rectangle). The vast majority of the slides are normal 35mm ones, so no problem - I just tuck them in the slide holder and away we go.
First of all - hello to everybody! I've been a Canon user for many many years, but have never been to this forum before (usually because I haven't needed to - which is probably a good thing! ).Ī long while ago, I inherited my dad's slide collection - one of those things I always meant to get round to sorting out, but never had time - but now in today's pandemic situation, I'm doing all sorts of things I thought I'd never get around to doing.
