Has anyone tried to scan a 5x4 neg on a 35mm+120 scanner(8800f)? I have the adaptor but it leaves about 5mm on each side(longest). Will it be able to cope in scanning? Thanks.

The adapter isn't so important, but is the negative completely covered by the lamp in the lid of the scanner? If anything is outside of the lamp-"frame" you have to scan it in two rounds and try to stitch it together "in post" as noone actually says in real life.

not completely covered. I guess I can scan it twice...

I know someone who sacns 4x5 with an Epson V-500 in two passes and stiches. Apparently it's workable. I haven't seen the results.

Scan in two rounds then stitch

The best thing is to set exposure to Manual and make sure that both scans have the same curve/exposure applied to them. This will make stitching easier. I am sure it will look great. I used to scan 35mm panoramas in two takes and stitch them later in PS3. This should work just as well. The only difference is the file size, so make sure your computer has enough juice to handle it.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I do that, on an Epson 4490. I made a mask from mat board.
Good advice. I stitch with Pano Factory software, but I'm sure there's plenty of other options. There is a steep learning curve.
