It also has slots for 35mm 'slides' to scan in. By cutting a thick piece of matte board into the shape of a slide (with a hole in the middle large enough to show sprocket holes) it would be possible to scan with sprocket holes showing. It does have a plate for medium format, but I don't currently have any to try it out. I would assume it works just as well as the 35 plate.

I'll have to try it out again after I do some color processing. After doing some vigorous research I’ve discovered the ICE system is for color photos only.

All you have to do is place the negative emulsion down on the glass and line the adapter plate up over it. You'll have to flip the images horizontally, but they look GREAT!
