Minox film strip holder for flatbed scanner

thingiverse

Film holder scans 9.2 mm Minox spy camera film with standard flatbed scanners and transparency units. Film strips go into the holder carrier down, emulsion up, secured by clamp. Holder fits in 135 film gap on scanner glass, scanning pictures. Four versions are available; 35 mm film gap accommodates two Minox strips side by side. However, Epson software for certain scanners poses challenges when using the two-strip holder. Two different lengths of holders exist: original Minox processing yielded four 10-picture strips, but longer strips required a custom-made holder. The Pont du Gard photo was scanned with this double film holder. High-resolution scans are not expected from 9.2 mm film strips, especially considering the picture's age - 46 years old. Scanner software performed well on old material, capturing the original color tone missing in C-41 films. Most inherited Minox films were scanned using a Reflecta ProScan Minox film holder and standard flatbed scanners with transparency units.
