We make holders for nearly all film formats
In the 21st century, digital cameras are all the rage. There is an entire generation that likely has never even heard of film cameras. But it is easy to forget that digital imaging has only become widespread in the last 20 years. That means there are over 100 years of film negatives sitting in albums, attics, and basements around the world. Negative Solutions Film Holders makes the products to bring those old memories to digital life. From 126 to 35 mm to 110 film or 127, we likely have what you need.

Worked well and is pretty sturdy. Was able to make it work with my Epson V600 by placing it within the Epson holder for 120 film.

Have already used this holder. Results good. Can be a bit stiff inserting holder into the scanner but so far this is only a minor issue.

While my original order was not delivered by UPS, the seller immediately fixed the problem and I had a new one in 48 hours. It fits the film I purchased it for, too!

The APS film fits, but there are no separators to help you get the film indexed to the holder correctly. Plus, you can only do 4 frames at a time, as there is one weird separator across in the wrong position, which positions itself in the middle of a frame. Unless I am doing something wrong? So, not easy to use, of course, part of the problem is the APS film doesn't lie flat, as it has been wound up n the cartridge for 15 years, still very curly, hard to flatten out. As there is virtually no other choice, I am happy I can finally scan these negatives.

It would be great if this were a clamshell, like the Plustek scanner's factory 35mm holder. APS film that has been stored in the canister for 10+ years is curly and stays that way, so it takes some finagling to get the film into the holder.

Scanning many negatives of photos taken over 50 years. Buying these is still cheaper than paying to have them scanned in even if it a bit boring.

This is a 3D printed film holder to allow you to scan APS-format negatives in a PlusTek OpticFilm scanner (which is sized for 35mm). You place the film in the main piece, then slide the inner place over the film strip to hold it in place. You have to remove the developed film from the APS canister first, which is a bit tricky. The vendor's PDF help file (they send you a link with the order) gives a little information on this, but your best bet is to do a search on YouTube for "extract APS film" and you'll find a number of video tutorials.I extracted the film and cut it into strips of 5 negatives each (I don't think there's any real way to keep the film whole when using a dedicated film scanner like this, and in any case they stopped selling APS film 5 years ago so it's going to be difficult to find a lab who can deal with this format so there's no advantage to maintaining the cartridge.) Getting it into the holder is difficult when the film first comes out of the canister as it wants to curl back on itself. It's easier if you extract the film, but it into strips, put it into negative sleeves (ones made for 35mm work fine) and put something heavy on top to help convince the film to flatten out. Once the film is in the holder, the scanning procedure is identical to what you'd do with 35mm film.The only "con" I've found with the product is the spacing of the "bars" in the holder, which should line up with the gaps between frames on the film are a little off. The frames on my film are a little wider than the spacing of the bars, so I need to do some readjustment between frames. Otherwise it works great, and lets me finally scan the APS negatives that were my last remaining holdout from "analog" photography.
