Identify these scanning negative holders?

[emayoh]

I saw these unidentified, unused negative holders at Goodwill for a few pennies. And, knowing how annoying it can be to find replacements for certain scanners, figured I would rescue them and see if there is someone desperately looking for them.

Does anyone recognize what scanner these are for? Since they can do MF I guess that probably narrows it way down. All I know is that they are NOT for the Canon 8800f that I have

Looks like epson v500

[wafflecakee]

Same as I have, v500 for sure.

[Aristophanes]

Confirm. Epson V500, what I have.

The one on the right looks identical to the one that came with my Epson 4490.

Thank you very much. Quality stuff. I will see if I can find someone who needs them, maybe trade for a few rolls of film

I've heard that the ones that come with the V500 aren't particularly good, and I've heard people suggest buying 'better' ones. Looking at mine, I can't imagine them being very long lasting. Anyone know anything about this?

The "better ones" recommended are those made and supplied by BetterScanning, which typically do a better job of holding the negative flat, to help keep the image in focus for the flatbed scanner. I have one for my 120 medium format scanning with the 4990 scanner. It is excellent.

That said, I still use the standard neg holder pictured above for scanning my 35mm negs. It seems robust enough for sensible use. I've probably scanned about 200 rolls with it in the last few years. One of the BetterScanning holders, especially with ANR glass, would probably do a better job, but the standard neg holder is adequate for my needs.
