Using the Coolscan III for scanning negatives I sometimes notice scratches after the scan. Sometimes when I scan negatives with 4 pictures, the next to the last one gets scratched in longitudinal direction. I thought that these scratches are caused by extremely bent negatives. Unfortunately the

You appear to have deduced the cause of the scratches that appear using the feeder. The film strip holder is much better in every aspect except convenience:)) The feeder also doesn't get the film flat enough! In other words, it's 'one-hour' quality, don't use it unless you're just doing quick
