126 Film Format
The film originally designated as 126 film was a roll film introduced by Kodak in 1906. It produced images 4.25" x 6.5". It was discontinued in 1949. In 1963 Kodak introduced a new type of film cased in a plastic cartridge, with the 126 name. The width of the film is the same as 35mm but it has only one registration hole per image.
The cartridge is made up of two spools encased in plastic. The film was available in 12 or 24 image lengths. Today it is only available in 24 picture rolls. When all the pictures are taken, there is no need to rewind the film.
This is the 126 "Instamatic" Slide.

| A35ss vs. Walgreens: Digital Shootout Who should you trust to digitize your 120 slides? |
|
|---|---|
| These scans are from a 120 size slide. 120 slides are almost square. Notice how Walgreens cropped the top and bottom off the scan and then left the black bars on the sides. We scan the whole 120 slide and we precision crop each image so there are no black bars or dirty edges. | |

Customer Testimonials
I received and reviewed the last disks in my order today, and I am
mailing your final payment plus an extra $10 each for duplicates of
disks 2-11. I am pleased with your work and especially with your
customer service. You have been very responsive and helpful.
Considering that my order included scanning and printing to disk of
well over 6,000 slides, completion of the order was very quick. I
also am very appreciative of the extra work you must have done to
get as much as possible from many of my slides that were over- or
under-exposed or faded or damaged due to age. In every area, you did
MUCH better than the slide scanning service I used previously.
Sincerely,

Recently Affordable 35mm Slide Scanning converted two sets of slides
to disc for me. The first set was 28 years old.
The second set has just been returned to me.
They were photos that I made exactly fifty years
ago this week at the Nevada Test Site related to
a nuclear test. I intend to use them to make a
PowerPoint presentation before my Rotary Club
just fifty years after the first time! Affordable 35mm Slide Scanning Co.did everything possible to satisfy my
requirements. Service was excellent and the
results superb. I will be sending more slides
including some over 65 years old. It is great to
do business with a company that responds
promptly to email requests. I heartily recommend
Affordable 35mm Slide Scanning Co..

Thanks for finishing the
order and the information. As I was completely satisfied with my
previous 200+ order - terrific job - please just send the completed
CD and slides back. You've already processed the check accompanying
the order and in case that was not quite enough just let me know.
Take care and thanks again for the wonderful previous job and
service.

I just received my scanned slides and I am sorting them into chapters to return back to you.
Question: Can I rename the .jpg file from a slide number to something descriptive?
By the way, the slides look terrific! I am so pleased. This is a true gift you are giving all of us -- you are giving us back our memories.
