This is a Kodak Disc format negative holder for use with Epson Perfection V500, V550 and V600 flatbed film scanners (US Patent Pending). This will also work on Epson 2450, 3170, 3200, and 4180 scanners. This was custom made for use with the obsolete Kodak Disc format that was briefly popular some 30 years ago. Unfortunately
not only is it almost impossible to get prints made from Kodak Disc negatives these
days, but Disc negative holders are hard to come by and the ones that you
can find cost upwards of $100. Please remember that the Kodak Disc format recorded an image of 8 x 11 mm, which is the same size as the Minox "spy" cameras. With a negative image this small, it's important that you have realistic expectations on the quality of scan you'll get from your Disc negatives.
New! Negative Solutions is the first to offer a Kodak Disc holder for this model of scanner that does not require removing the center hub!
Specifications for the Kodak Disc negative holder:
Overall: 65 mm diameter
Material: Plastic
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.
