Re: [Digital BW] Scanner comparison between Polaroid and canon...

2002-04-07 by Martin Wesley

Jerry,

I looked them both up on their websites and I can't tell. I know the old
Polaroid didn't have a glass carrier option and I bet the new one doesn't
either. I have no idea about the Canon. As far as full frame, my Polaroid
120 seems to be about an exact fit for the 35mm negs from my Canon Elan II
and Elan 7. I can get both sides if I am very careful with aligning the neg.
Can't quite get full frame end to end but it would be pretty easy to cut out
a cross bar or 2 if I needed too. An extra 1/2 mm would have been nice.
Hopefully they have improved things with the new model but you never know.
Any way to get to a dealer and take a look?

Martin
