We've been using the Kodak RFS 3570 for a couple of years now and it does a
fine job with strips of 2-1/4 (120) film...It will handle everything from
35mm up to 2-1/4 X 3-1/4

I not sure, but I don't think there's a holder available from Kodak for
_Mounted_ large format slides - I believe they have to be un mounted for
scanning.

35mm has both an mounted and unmounted holder.

Hope this helps.
