As a matter of fact, I cut 120 film into 4 frame strips with it. If you want to see the corners of the frame easily, I recommend lighting it from beneath.

When working with 35mm and 6 by 4, this device provides good results. The negatives and slides are 5 cm in diameter. It helps to hold a light under the frames to find the exact separations of the film frames accurately, as another reviewer mentioned. In my scanner, 35mm strips of up to six frames can be scanned, and the film is cut to these lengths nicely. As soon as I get my negatives and slides from the lab, the rolls are wrapped in long, long glassine envelopes that protect each strip the whole time. When the film is in the envelope it is more challenging to use the cutter. It was not designed for this purpose, so there's some understanding behind this quibble. I find the price to be a bit high, given the quality of the product. This could be the case due to the fact that it is a specialty item with lower demand, so the advantages of mass production do The only thing that kept me from giving it five stars was.
The negative cutter gives the impression that it is a basic, engineered and functional device. As stated above, this product can be relied upon to get As a result, the white plastic parts of the product allow light to pass through, allowing you to see the edges of the negative film's image. As of yet, I've only held the product up to the light to center the negative's edge against the cutting edge, and then placed it on the table and acted on the lever to cut. Is it possible to scratch the negative film when sliding it through the device? Is it possible that the plastic can scratch the negative film when sliding it through the device? It is a moot point, however, since there is always some risk involved with performing any task, and if you must cut a strip of negatives, then you must cut it. In very early testing, the cutter provided a clean cut edge, which is far easier than using scissors or not cutting at all to insert into plastic sleeves. Examples include (e. g. An older negative strip with poorly cut edges tends to dig into the plastic, making it difficult to insert. When using a flat bed scanner, you will also need to cut long strips of negatives.
Worked perfect and did what it was designed for. Those complaining the screen doesn't have a backlight should consider the following You can purchase a "selfie ring light" and use it to illuminate the bottom of the selfie Although there are more elegant methods of accomplishing the same thing, I had this available and it worked It is a bit pricey for what it is since it is a high quality product for the price. I have no complaints, however, about the way the system works.
The machine has been used to cut about 50 rolls of film, a mixture of 35mm and 120mm. I tried using it illuminated from below for a while, but the blade does not give an even cut and now the advancing wheel that allows the film to move through the device has stopped gripping entirely. Taking the risk of damaging the film requires pulling it through. It appears to be glued shut, so it cannot be serviced by the user. Taking money for granted is a waste. As soon as I get a good pair of scissors, I'll get them.
In order to avoid eyeballing with scissors, I wanted something that could be used to cut negative strips. We have found that this method In this case, I can line up the border between negatives and cut the film using a guillotine. There's really nothing special about the wheel used to roll the film, but it's still good enough.
I am cutting the film I developed and I am pausing what I am doing to write it. Until now, I have tried five rolls of 35mm film and one roll of 120 film. The machine cuts the film just fine. However, I have to feed the film in myself because of the wheel that advances the film. It will advance a few cm if I'm lucky, but it's not enough to let me advance the film. More time has been wasted trying to make the film move along as it should than I would have saved myself. It might seem that I want to like this, but I don't. It just doesn't work and I don't like it.
The answer is I have a lot of old and new film strips to sort through and scan, and using scissors just can't cut it (pun For what I need, this cutter has worked much better than expected (so far). that, while the bottom is transparent, it significantly reduces the amount of light that comes from my light board. When the image fades near the edge of the frame, or where the negative contrast is low, it is sometimes difficult to tell where it If the image is too dark near the edge of the film, positive film then has the same problem. However, positive film is.
If you are cutting two or more frames for a strip, you will need a backlight to see where the cuts should be made- if you are cutting a film evenly and quickly, you will just need to cut the frames closer together. An example of this type of holder would be. the sheet in my hands, and would do so regardless, so I simply hold it up next to a desk lamp to determine the cutting points. However, I still recommend this product, even though it is a bit pricey.
