I have done a little bit of experimenting with Gepe glass mounts, and drum
scanning oil. The combination are then used in a film scanner. There is no
patterning problem, the colours are easier to accurately capture, and the
dynamic range seems to improve slightly. The only problem is this is a slow
process. Without the drum scanning oil, I think the only reason to use a glass
mount would be if the original transparency has curled badly.

I'm thinking about getting a 35mm film scanner to deal with my
slides... approaching the digital age at a cautious pace!

One newbie question, which I have never seen the answer to: does the
autofocus feature on film scanners deal with moderately warped /
curled slides?

Thanks
