great improvement for scanning MF with Epson 2450
Everybody who has ever scanned film with a 2450 will know the problem.
The film holders are a bad joke and the film, heated and dried out by the heat from the transparency lightsource, winds itself out of the holder. This is particularly bad with the MF/4x5 holder where the scan times are long enough that the film can move around a lot during the eternity it takes to complete a single scan. Now, I've just got myself the equivalent holder from the 3200 which is fitted with a frame to securely clamp the film strip down in order to hold it flat and prevent it from moving during the scanning process. What a difference!!! Bought it from one of the two official suppliers of Epson spare parts, here in Germany, and paid a mere 11 euros, P&P included! Sometimes one is really left wondering why one hasn't thought of such simple solutions much earlier.... :-) Ralf -- Ralf R.
