The filmstrip adapter (model SA-21) for the Nikon LS4000ED moves the film by pinching it between motor-driven rubber rollers about 3/8 of an inch wide down the center of the filmstrip. I feel certain that if there's grit on these rollers it will scratch the film, although I haven't used mine enough yet for them to get dirty. --Bill -- ====================================================================== Bill Fernandez * User Interface Architect * Bill Fernandez Design (505) 346-3080 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://billfernandez.com ======================================================================
