A tip for this scanner.


The rubber strip on which the film edge lies can get slippery and fail to
grip from time to time.

Clean it with a little soap, rubbing it with your finger and rinse.
Allow the thing to dry properly.
It grips again.
I discovered this by trial and error.



Alternatively: a Q-tip dipped in denatured alcohol.


Comment.

These are marvellous scanners


I'll second that.

I mount single 645 frames in anti-newton mounts for very critical

scanning.
Works fine on the flatbed. Not sure what your options are for 6x7 or the
LS8000.


Using anti-Newton mounts in a high resolution scanner is usually
considered to be a Bad Idea. The scanner can see the bumps.


Ahh. That explains the "grain".
