Hello!

I've got some 126 and 110-format negatives that I need to find a way of
scanning...

Does anyone have any bright ideas about how to scan these formats? I
already have a 35mm-capable scanner (Canon CanoScan 4200F), but
ham-fisted attempts I've made to construct a mask for it haven't been
particularly satisfactory.

If anyone knows of a particular scanner model that can scan 126 and 110
negatives, or knows of a ready-made mask I could use with my existing
scanner, it'd be much appreciated!


Sure it's called a slide mount, if you have a mask for slides, just get
some 126 and 110 sized slide mounts, that are 2"x2" in exterior
dimensions, you should get self sealing ones, so that you don't need an
expensive slide mounter, mount the negatives in the slide mounts, then
scan away using your regular slide scanning mask. You may need to crop
the scans back to the image size.
