As of publishing this, I want to make it clear that this method works for me and so far I like my results. I don’t care if it doesn’t follow [ insert UA-camr/Photographer name here ] or follow the rules of the manual, these results will either make you happy or not. At the end of the day, these are your photos. You can do whatever you want with them.

I like your boldness. Cheers
Beautiful results! Thank you for this video. I've been scanning through a camera + LOMO digitaliza, but that process can be exhausting - and film bending can still be a problem, so parts of an image can be out of focus. Pulling the trigger on an Epson and the ANR glass option seems to be the best investment of money into scanning.
Thank you so much I appreciate it! I was actually thinking about buying the digializa and scanning it with the Epson. Keep in mind though, when you scan ANR straight on the glass, you are likely to get newton rings. Rings that might be noticeable. If you are just uploading photos on a platform like Instagram, it goes unnoticed. Thanks again!
I'm swinging by to pick up glass from Scan Tech - glad to have found this! Good to see it's eliminating newton rings. I see people using other brands and somehow still getting rings- perhaps they are using it incorrectly.
Let me give you a quick update. I still scan my photos on the glass and I'd get newton rings on my photos here and there. So using ANR doesn't prevent Newton rings 100%. Maybe lifting the glass a few mm off the flatbed glass would work but not always when it's flat on the glass.
Thank you creating helpful content! This might be a stupid question, but would there be any benefit in combining wet mounting with the ANR glass? Just ordered my glass!
I’ve never tried wet mounting so I can’t speak on that. I’ve always been sandwiching my negative on the glass and get results that I’m happy with. You can always try experimenting. ☺️
Thanks for doing this video because there's very little info out there on these ANR products. I recently came across them on Ebay but was rather dubious about ordering them so thanks for helping me make my mind up.
I didn’t know they have them up on eBay but yeah, they are the same folks who are selling ANR glass. If there’s no shipping update within a few days, make sure you contact them.
@@russellrabanal ill probably give it at least a week because I'm in the UK.
Would u recommend getting the medium format anr glass if you shoot both 35 and 120
if you choose to scan your 35mm negative flat on the glass, yes. if your 35mm negatives are always flat, then its not needed.
Hey Russell Thanks for your content! quick question, I got a v600 and i triyed both epsonscan and epsonscan2, my problem is that when I crop the photo that I want I got the right auto exposition only when the borders are outside the crop square. How do you manage to have a nice auto exposition, cropping with the black film borders included? Thanks. Peace
Hey Franz, thanks for watching. If you watch my 3 minute film borders video, I use the same method with either SilverFast or Epson Scan. Cheers!
Thanks for your reply! ✌️
would I be able to just place my negatives directly on top of a light table, then the ANR glass right on top and DSLR scan like that? Does the glass come with any kind of case to keep it clean when not in use?
Hey Kristian, I’ve never tried DSLR scanning so I can’t speak on that. To answer your second question. The glass doesn’t come with a case. I just wrap it with a soft cloth.
hello mate, I just ordered a glass form the scan tech website and sent 4 mails along time and they still not answer me... did they close? Why are they acting like that?
Almost sounds like I’m part of their customer care team haha. Yeah, not sure what’s going on these days but all I know is that there was only one person operating that business and I had to email the guy to ship mine. Would just open a chargeback case and try getting it at betterscanning. Good luck!
Do you know if I can purchase the 120 glass and use that for both 120 and 35mm scans??
Yes, you can put the 120 ANR glass over a 35mm negative.
Hi Russell. I'm archiving the slides and negatives (sizes from Kodak 110 [the one w the the very small negative] up to 120) that my Dad & Mom took of our family as we grew up for myself & my three brothers by scanning them on an Epson V850 Pro. After seeing this video on ANR Glass I plan to get some of the ANR glass plates. I have a couple of questions. First, can you have several ANR glass plates on the scanner bed at the same time? Second, does it work on slides? Thirdly, does scanning prints (both color & B&W) with ANR glass on top improve results? I ask this because a number of old b&w prints I have from my Dad are ones he took doing WW2, and these are basically contact sheet prints. Thanks a lot --you are doing a great job!
Hi Joe, with the Epson V600, I can only place one ANR glass over one 120 negative or one 35mm negative over the glass. The one I bought works specifically on 120 negatives with or without the tray. After using it for 3 months, yes, it does improve results if you zoom into scans and look into details. Using ANR from my experience, it improved in sharpness on details and contrast. --- You did mention about scanning prints, ANR glass was designed for negatives. And for slide film, I can't speak for that since I've never shot any but I believe it would work the same. I've never shot 110 as well, but they will fit under the ANR glass since it's smaller than 35mm film. Lastly, my method of scanning is not something that Epson put in their instruction manuals, but using ANR glass does bring improvements. Again, these improvements can be seen if you zoom in otherwise you can't really tell. Hope this works for you and let me know if you have any other questions.
I use V600 too. But I never get the same sharpness of the scanning with different users on UA-cam. Any tips of how to get the best sharpness?
What are you scanning 35mm or 120 film? Using the ANR glass did bring improvements. The 3 scanning videos I’ve shared on my UA-cam is my process. I’m not doing anything in post unless I say so in my video. I’m shooting 6x9 on medium format and the shots from that camera are usually sharp.
Thanks for the video. The scan tech link doesn't seem too work anymore. Do you you know another sources for anr glass?
Thanks for watching. The only site I see that sells ANR glass is BetterScanning www.betterscanning.com/scanning/insert.html - The site looks almost exactly like scan tech but they are the only ones selling something similar. I don't have any experiences purchasing from them so I can't say speak on that. Hope you find one! 🤞🏽
What are the tiff files like though with and without any glass ?
It would be similar as if your were scanning them on jpg. But if you wanna go that far with pixel peeping, tiff files with and without the glass would be hardly noticeable. - Anyways, I hope you find a solution to your scanning method and I hope it works out for you. Thanks for watching!
Hey man, on which side of the glass did you tape your film to? The matte side, right?
When you scan your negative it’s the “shiny side” that needs to be face down on the flatbed.
thanks for reviewing this - I ordered mine almost 2 weeks ago but it has yet to ship. It was the standard cut, which says they ship within 2 days. Was it like this for you? Anyone else have similar experiences?
You should email them. It happened to me as well. Apparently, it’s a one man team. I emailed 5 days later because it didn’t come in. I thought it would come by quick since we we’re in the same state (California). And he emailed back thanking me for reminding him. Got it shortly after.
@@russellrabanal thanks! yeah i emailed him a couple days after purchasing since i didnt see any tracking nor order update - followed up a couple more times but no word since the initial email, sigh we'll see where this goes.
I hope he get backs to you soon. Instead of making multiple trips to the post office, I think what he does is wait for more orders to come in.
Yo can you do a tutorial on getting good film boarders when scanning? Like step by step how to do it? Everyone just says “hit this button and now you’re done” not that easy with the v600
I was going to forward you to my video that I created awhile back, but you found it. There’s really no trick to it. In that video, I show my settings and basically click and drag the marquee tool over the image. Whether you’re using silverfast or Epson Scan, it does the same thing. - Most people will say the same but that’s basically it. Click and drag. The only time you can’t get the film borders is if you use the tray that comes with the V600. The tray blocks the borders from even showing up in your scans. May I ask, what you’re getting when you click and drag? At this point, I’m thinking some settings might have been changed. You’re going out of bounds with the borders. Or there is something wrong with your V600.
I have this same setup but I'm still getting newton rings on my scans. Do I just have bad ANR glass or something or are other people running into this?
Hey Joseph, you’re not the only one. I’ve been getting newton rings on my scans. And honestly, they were my first on my 120 scans. I’ve looked at all my previous scans without ANR glass and they don’t have any newton rings on them. - I’ll keep ya updated if I find a solution.
@@russellrabanal so I tried using the glass with the 120 tray that the 600 comes with and they seem to scan without the rings a bit more but I think we'll just have to be careful about it and make sure that we are checking while scanning
You’re getting newton rings because you’re putting the film directly on the scanner glass. That’s why the holders that came with your scanner raise the film a few mm off the glass.
Sandwiching the film between two pieces of anr glass might work also.
Hi. I wonder how did you placed the negatives on the scanner. Is it above the ANR glass and you used tape to flatten the negatives? Or you placed the ANR glass above the negatives? Thanks for this wonderful video.
ANR above the negative on the flatbed glass. No tape used. You can also check my other video on how to scan with film borders. It shows how I place my film on the scanner. Cheers!
@@russellrabanal thanks, man! I recently just discovered your channel. Great stuff!
@@transc3nd appreciate it brother. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. 🤝
Is this glass another name for anti newton? and is this glass suitable in epson v700? Thanks
It is abbreviated ANR (Anti-Newton Ring) Glass. I don't have a V700 so I can't speak on that. Sorry.
@@russellrabanal thanks ✌🏻
I’m really liking your text treatment in this video! May I ask how our achieved this look at 1:28 please? I also really enjoy all of your videos!
Nothing special really haha. All you have to do is add blur to your text.
@@russellrabanal Oh! Haha, thank you!
Why don't you use digital ice or dust removal? Just wondering
Digital ICE is no longer available. Dust removal is a hit or miss, I'll still end up bringing my photos to post-process through lightroom or photoshop.
@@russellrabanal You get a free SilverFast 8 with Epson V600 - it still works with iSRD
@@thewhiteapparation I’m not a fan of iSRD.
Whats the procedure to scan with ANR glass?
I have a playlist on my channel that shows how I scan my negatives. - I lay mine flat on the glass which a lot of people oppose of doing but it works for me. 🙂
Did anybody get their glass? it's been two weeks since I placed the order, I've emailed them multiple times and there is no response.
Hope you got your glass man. I remember I had to email the guy to ship.
I actually have not gotten mine either. Did you ever receive a shipping confirmation? I got the automated payment receipt a couple days after I ordered, but its been almost two weeks since then and I have not heard a thing. Emailed too, no response, and tried to call but the voicemail box was full.
Hey dude! Great video. I got some ANR glass a while back but I seem to be having issues where I’m still getting NR. I put the film on the flat bed and then the ANR glass ontop so the film is sandwiched. Is that right? I’ve tried it the other way where the film is on top but then because of the focus point of the scanner the shots come out a bit soft. I’ve tired both the lenses on my V850 but they still come out soft. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yeah, I pretty much sandwich my negative with the ANR glass. If you watch my other videos, I still get great results with it even though I get newton rings here and there. I hear people saying to use Loctite's sticky tacks that way it's not flat on the scanner's bed. Or just Lomo's Digitiliza.
You can’t put the film directly on the scanner bed glass, that’s why you get newton rings.
Sadly, your link to Scan-Tech shows a suspended account. Do you have another recommendation?
Never ordered from here, but you can try Better Scanning.

@@russellrabanal Hello! Do you have other recommendations apart from Better Scanning and Scan-Tech? it looks like neither of them are in business anymore.
@@madeleinehordinski4074 Hi! Sorry! I don't know of anyone else who sells ANR glass. I believe the guy who ran Scan-Tech couldn't keep up with the demand. Good luck!
I have quick question about ANR glass, is that only $19.25 per one glass???
Cost depends on format and yes $19.25 per glass for the 35mm.
@@russellrabanal scan tech still on going? because they doesn't answer my email.
@@user-rf5ng5zw5c the business is operated by one person. I had to email him to get mine shipped.
@@user-rf5ng5zw5c I had to get a refund of $55 because the communication is an issue there. I'm trying to find another option
Sorry to hear. Try betterscanning. Pops up on google if you search up for it.
I don't know why i keep getting very soft scans even from 120 negatives.
Hey Dario, my only guess for soft scans could be that your shots weren’t in focus or your lens has haze. But don’t take my word for it, I could be wrong.
Could be, i will try again and try to scan other negatives.
Shoot your photos on my discord. Would like to take a quick look discord.gg/VqsvfuHw
Link is broken for the glass
Made this video 3 years ago - around the time during the pandemic. I don't know the full story but think it was operated by a one or two man team. Probably couldn't keep up with the demand.
My cellphone screen is terribly shattered, so everything looks like crap right now. I can't tell what's what. Lol
LOL you’re good man! It’s actually better to see it on a computer or TV screen.
