Damn, aps support?! I assume you have to take the negatives out of the cartridge.

There's a seller on ebay that 3D prints negative holders for the scanner I have, so for example I could scan the 110 cartridge (not the really old roll film) negatives I have. I wonder if he makes one to do APS.

But on the other hand, the APS camera I had was cheap, point and shoot, and the prints came back with a note that they were severely overexposed, so it probably wasn't even working correctly. Not much point in spending money to save some forgettable shots of a local river.

Yeah, it's a Canon scanner (can't remember the model of the top of my head), a lot of the listings I saw for it were missing the APS part so maybe it was an optional extra?

They are mounted in the scanner cartridge and then the scanner takes care of advancing through them - or maybe it was manual. I can't remember now!

I had more rolls of APS than I thought, quite cool as you get the full frame rather than what was selected on the camera, so you see bits that were hidden for years.

Edit fs2710 - just looked in the metadata!
