Epson V600 officially takes up to medium format film, but with custom film holders you can scan 4x5 or 9x12cm large format film as well. In this video I show how to do it.

Did this with my V600 with 4x5 b/w negs using the template by Your Browntruck. Also, used free stitch software AutoStitch. I cut the template from matboard and didn't cut out the notch at the top. Works like a charm! Thanks
How did you prevent warpage?
Great tutorial, did this for myself with the help or the template (see comments) and it works great on my v550
Awesome video, brother. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this.
Thank you so much for this inspiring video, my scans just started to come out nice and easy.
I'm so glad!
Would it be possible for you to give the measurements for your holder, you said in someone else's comment that you just copied the dimensions from the original holder. the thing is that the original holder is not designed to be slid across.
This is the BEST explanation I've found on this subject. THANK YOU!
Cheers mate! You saved me time, hassle and probably money too!
I always wondered why my scanner didn't take my selfmade holders until I saw in this Video that you are supposed to leave the top unobstructed.
Thank you so much for this videos!
I did this and then found out that there are numerous technical issues with panorama stitchers when dealing with our large files. Many stitchers do not accept planer images - most are designed for spherical images. They might stitch the two images, but then introduce warpage. PTGUI FAQ 6.5 tells you how to work around it. PanoramaStitcher recently added a planer image capability, and then ran into a large file problem that I duplicated. Two days ago, March 25th 2019, they uploaded the fix. So, PanoramaStitcher is actually designed to stitch our large scanner files and only costs $14.99!
You should have written instructions with exact measurements to follow along linked in the comments. We're trying to follow instructions, but it's tough to eye-ball measurements. For example, the notch on the side--why is it a little bit bigger than the 4x5 opening?
Also trying it out with cardboard from a cereal box. Will post an update on how it works!
I agree with you. It usually feels so easy when you done it yourself. If you mean the notch on the top of the frame it should be wider since you are going to slide it left to right to scan the rest of the film sheet.
what material did you use to make your holder?
i dont understand what you said. What is the camera at the begining
What were the specific dimensions of the holder that you made? Is there a recommended thickness of the holder?
Hey Joshua, I just copied the dimensions from the original holder that came with the scanner. I don't know if there's a recommended thickness of the holder, mine is about 2mm thick. Which is about the same as the original as well.
Very useful video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!

That's a cat.
Exactly. A Demon.
Good vid. I have the V600 also and i do suffer with Newton rings on my 35mm negs in the supplied holder. Have you had this issue? as you state here they are impossible to remove with post processing! Shaun.
+TheSpandexoc hey Shaun, supplied holders don't have glass so Newton rings can happen only when film touches the scan bed. I sometimes have this issue too, when film is curly. I was thinking of cutting a holder for 35mm as well then you can just flatten film and fix it with a sticky tape so it won't curl and touch glass. Or you can just buy a holder with anti Newton glass.
Nice!
Can you explain the material you used for the holder?
+Spiritworld X it's an office table cover from IKEA.

Thanks a lot for useful information and good ideas :-)
Дима , всё тоже самое по русски !
С радостью бы, но приоритеты другие.
Is it the Rissla Desk Pad?
I think it was SKRUTT
@@SoExpired Yep. Found it. Sadly not available at Ikea US. I'll have to find something similar. Hopefully I can get this hack to work because it's definitely better than $700 on a scanner or $100 for the lab to scan 10 shots
@@twiggidy Good luck! I did my first prototype from a sheet of cardboard. I switched to the pad as it was more sturdy.
will this hack work for 8x10s?
I don't think so. To scan full sheet it will stick out of the scanner
@@SoExpired isn't it an A4 size scanner? A4:210x297
8x10:200x250
@@epicmedia179 yes, but the second lens for scanning film is 1/3 of that
@@SeniorSoftwareVlogger oh no!
I guess for 8x10 users the only option than would be going with 700-750-800-850 series. I wonder if HP or Canon have some alternatives.
Well you're more brilliant than me. 22 bucks and a whole day and this did not work. The scanner had no idea how to handle this size negative and was probably more confused with the jury rigged holder.
Didn't it scan at all? The window at the top of the holder is very important.
It treated the scan like it was 120mm or a slide. I got three thumbnails. Not going to waste time trying to stitch 8 frames together. I found and old HP G4050 with all the negative holders so I'll give that a shot. The pad cost me 22 bucks the HP 13.
In Epson software I just switch from thumbnails to the full scan mode where you can select frames by yourself.
Yes I tried that as well. Either I made a mistake in cutting up a perfectly good pad or maybe you need to give precise measurements for the one that worked for you. I get that you used the holder for your measurements but lets pretend we all did not graduate from MIT and just give the dimensions from length and width. with top dimensions for the cut out like how far from edge to start and the width of cut and depth of cut. Then the most important measurement for the negative cutout. How far from side then length and width. All the measurements in both inche for us Americans then Metric for the rest of the world. The pad I bought was 2mm. I'm figuring it will take you less time getting thes measurments than reading this. Thanks
Don't waste your time with this hack; if you want to use an Epson scanner pickup one that is made for scanning LF. In the end you will get better quality and save your time. I don't know why people want to continue trying to make the 600 work like this.
Paying a scanner 250euro and having to fiddle like this is not an acceptable solution for me. I will stick with my macro lens and Fuji XT2. When I want a print for sell I will give it to a professional printer.
Buddy, you’ve given us the basic idea but no dimensions! And why is this an IKEA hacK? Frustrating!
Русский, да ?
