Digitizing old 120 slides

[chaskakatz]

I would like to convert my Mom's 120 slides to digital format. I have a G4050 HP scanner for 35mm but not holder for the 120 slides. I have looked at digitizing services but apparently 120 is not an easy size to convert. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Is 120 the size in millimeters? I have seen a few YouTube videos of people digitizing negatives with a "light box" and a Digital camera, and doing clean up with software. Apparently the results are better than scanning slides/negatives. I was researching this because I have a bunch of negatives and slides that I would like to digitize.

Have you checked with the company "Legacy Box"? I have heard advertisements for them, but have not used them, so no endorsement.

The film size was 120 and apparently she could use 620 film also. I looked briefly at Legacy Box but at the time I thought the slides were from 127 film. Thanks

Go to YouTube and search "Digitizing negatives with dslr". I couldn't find the specific video I watched last week, but there are a bunch of them out there.
