In good condition, no issue at all. I've done many, many thousands on
three different scanners w/o issues. I've even scanned glass (b&w) w/o
removing them. No issues.

Wait--are we talking transparencies in cardboard or glass mounts, or images printed on paper,
or ???


He did say that he is taking photos of the *film*.

Ok. If using a scanner, is your recommendation to remove the film from the
frame or can it be be scanned as is?

you will need to remove them from the frame no matter what you do.


Wrong again - a bit of a habit..... unless OP is unclear and is actually
taking the photo of a *print* as oppose to 'of the film'.

he wasn't clear.

he said he wanted to use an enlarger as a tripod, which sounds like
using it as a copy stand for *prints* placed on the easel.

if he meant using the enlarger to project an image onto the easel and
then take a photo of that, that would certainly 'work', but the results
would be quite poor. it is such a daft idea that i can't imagine anyone
even considering it, let alone actually try it, but i suppose it's
possible.

My Nikon Coolscan LS5000ED (an\d others) has a 50-slide magazine
specifically designed to take transparencies in mounts.

that was never in dispute.

he also said he wanted to use an enlarger as a tripod to mount a camera.
