Mounted 645 transparencies
I've been chastized before for even considering having my 6x6 tranparencies
mounted, but I like them that way 'cause they're so easy to handle, and I really haven't noticed any problem with my scans. I just bought a Pentax 645N and I'm wondering if other people have their 645 slides mounted? It seems to me that if mounting 6x6 slides works well, then the film-flatness issue would be even less with 645 slides. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! |

Mounted 645 transparencies
If you have a flatbed that requires a film suspension height that is the
same as the suspension height provided by your mount, then you would be fine. Otherwise, you could be giving up some potential sharpness. You should cut a custom mask out of black material for these to block stray light though. If you are using a film scanner that can accept mounted 120 (is there such a scanner?), then the scanner must be designed to compensate for the change in film position via variable focus.

Thanks Doug,
I'm using a Nikon LS-8000 film scanner with a film holder designed for mounted MF film (6x6 & 6x7)! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ " -" wrote in message news If you have a flatbed that requires a film suspension height that is the same as the suspension height provided by your mount, then you would be fine.

Just use that. Store your unmounted negs/transps in plastic archival pages, 3-holed for an archival binder. See Adorama.com. If you're dead set on mounting your 645's ( I wasn't.), Google "gepe," a maker of mountings for film. However, I don't know that these mounts will fit into your mounted MF film holder. I'd say, forget about mounting your 645's. |

I'd say, forget about mounting your 645's. Gepe mounts for 6x6 are an industry standard size to fit all common 6x6 slide projectors. Any scanner that can hold mounted 6x6 slides can hold Gepe 6x45 or 6x6 mounts in glass, glassless and presentation versions. Gepe 6x6 mounted slides also fit Vue-All slide pages for archival sheet storage of the slides. Gepe and Vue-All are available at or can be ordered from any camera store. -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |
