Further to what PW said, I've had a lot of experience in photography in
general and digital photography as well. There's no good solution with
your scanner or any of the other flatbed scanners out there that come
with film scanning attachments. Get a real negative scanner and save
yourself a lot of frustration. They're not too expensive if you can get
by with only 35mm, if you need rollfilm or sheetfilm scanning, get your
wallet prepared. Only other good options are to make regular prints of
the negatives and scan the print, or take the negs to a photolab and let
them do the scanning. I'd go with the latter.

I've not used this one, but I found some info on that scanner though the
company you thinking of buying from was no help. It seems to be the
PrimeFilm 1800U which is probably very good for your needs. But if you
look around, you can beat the price:

You're welcome. And you can open them in PSP, no problem. It creates a 4
megapixel scan, which will allow you to make enlargements to about 5x7
inches for high quality, a little bigger with some drop in quality. But
pay attention to the reviewer who said that the default settings suck,
be sure to use the full scanning resolution for best results.

Nope, 126 isn't 35mm, but some of these scanners will take it. I can't
answer your question for sure, but you probably can work out a way to
scan 126 since it is close in size to 35mm. It's just a little taller
but squared off, so I know that some people have gotten them to work in
their 35mm scanner.

As for the 120, that's when you're talking about getting into big bucks
for a film scanner. Either that, or settle for the results that a
flatbed scanner with a film adapter produces. But for 35mm, a flatbed
just doesn't cut it at all. I bought a Visioneer flatbed with film
scanning attachments and it sucked even with 120 size film.
