Your right, I would not enjoy cutting my film down to individual frames and using glass! What about just filing out the film holders a bit? I've never understood why full frame holders weren't standard issue for enlargers and film scanners. I don't get why the designers/engineers/manufacturers believe we should want our images cropped, and then to loose more image to flare refracting off the holders edges. Who the hell designs these things, and what I really want to know is how that fool managed to get a job with every manufacturer out there....
