What is the maximum film size this model can accomodate? And is there a limit to the 
thickness? I've got to find some way of quickly and cheaply scanning 35mm negs a roll 
at a time for a contact sheet, and want to use the 10x8" glass from an old Paterson 
contact frame, which is about 4mm thick and holds 6x 6frame strips. Any other 
suggestions for suitable flatbeds?
