Minolta Dualscan IV- Will 126 Slides damage the scanner Physically

fits into the same physical space as a 35-mm slide, it should go in and out
just fine. This is based on my experience with other Minolta and Nikon
scanners; I haven't actually used the one you mention.

I rather wish 127 hadn't died out... I never got to use it.

I have a Dualscan IV. The only way I know to scan slides
is to put them into the special holder supplied with the
scanner. These hold a 35mm mounted slide in either the
horizontal or vertical positions.

The holder, however, only allows a 35mm area to be exposed to
the scanner.

I doubt that 126 or 127 slides will fit into the scanner.
Sorry, I don't have any that size so that I can't test it
for sure.

They are in 2x2-inch cardboard mounts; that is also one of the options for
mounting 110 slides.

That's why I think there's no danger, although the scanner will not be able
to see the whole frame of the 126 or 127 slide. In fact, the holder will
guarantee that the slide or film doesn't bump into anything.

35mm slides, image measures 24x36mm, slide mount is 2x2 inches.
127 super slides, image is 38mmx38mm, slide mount is 2x2 inches.
126 slides, image measures 26x26mm, slide mount is 2x2 inches.
828 slides, image is 28x40mm, slide mount is 2x2 inches.

You should be able to scan a 24x36mm maximum area from any of these formats
on a 35mm scanner. A medium format scanner could scan the whole image.

I think you may get more than 24x36mm on some scanners: my primitive but
effective HP PhotoSmart (second version) scanned the full image area of
127 film (if that is what Instamatics used), much to my delight.
