Excuse me for coming in late, but I think the original question was "Which film scanner would be best for 110 film?", something I haven't actually seen addressed here, so far. Point One, it would need to be a fairly hi-res scanner. Point Two, it would need a carrier specifically designed for

If I am not mistaken, 110 film is pretty close to 16mm film which is again pretty close to a 35mm film strip cut in half. You might want to see if you can get a strip of 2 frames into a 35 mm holder side by side. In fact you may be able to get 4 frames into the same opening as a 35mm slide
