127 Slide & The 127 Super Slide Scanning
The 127 Slide is in a 2" x 2" slide holder but with an extra large film area.
127 Super slides are 40mm x 40mm or 4x4cm slides, and were originally taken on a 127 roll film format.
Kodak stopped producing 127 film in July, 1995, with all but one manufacturer following suit shortly thereafter. Fotokemika of Samobor, Croatia, continues to make 127 film, which it sells under its own Efke brand, as well as custom-packaging for other sellers. Macophoto UP100 and Jessops 200 are made and packaged by Fotokemika. So is the Chromazone 127 film sold intermittently on eBay. In September 2006, Bluefire Laboratories of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, began packaging 127 color print film, cutting Kodak or Agfa film to size from bulk rolls, and assembling the rolls of film from their own components. In July, 2009, Rollei (Maco photo, Hans o. Mahn GmbH) introduced Rollei retro 80s, available in 127 film format.
If your 127 slides have the film portions warped as in the slide below, forget it.

If you want the whole 127 slide to scan, they cannot be intermixed with the regular 35mm slides. You will have to put them in separate stacks and clearly mark the stacks so that we can setup the scanner and then scan a whole group of the 127 super slides. We're sorry but it just takes us too much extra time to be switching back and forth from one size to another. The slide scan, of necessity, will be cropped slightly as shown below if they are intermixed with the regular slides: regular 35mm slides.

Because of the thinness of the cardboard slide carrier on the sides of the 127 slides, we see a lot of them that are seriously bent and damaged. If you rubber band these stacks, do not make the rubber bands very tight or you will put a permanent bend in them.
