I have a Canon canoscan 9000f markII flatbed scanner. It works well and I have not had a problem with it.
The issue I am having is that my father was a prolific photrographer and used different camera's at different times. His main camera that he used was a Mamiya c 330. He also had a 4x5 view camera that he used quite a bit.
This is where the issue starts. I got that 9000f to scan his photographs. The 9000f comes with film holders for 35mm slides, 35mm film and 120/220 film. The issue is that the scanner did not come with holders for 4x5 film or 120 slides (not to worred about this though).
Having a holder for 4x5 film would be great. Knowing this, I have been on the Canon website looking into support for help. I think I would be better off talking to a pile of rocks. Canon support stinks! Part of the reason for saying that is that I did something stupid and I needed to get the drivers for the scanner again. According to the Canon website, when you try to download the drivers, nothing else is needed like a utility of somesort. When you try to install the drivers though, it will tell you that a certain utility is needed but when you try to get that utility, it is nowhere to be found.
Now, back to the film holder. I am looking for suggestions for a 4x5 film holder. I have seen that Epson has a 4x5 film holder and I have wondered if that could be adapted to be used on a Canon.
Do you think that would work. Also open to other suggestions.
