RE: [pinhole-discussion] What is the best scanner?
= Original Message From Traci Bunkers bonk...@bonkersfiber.com = Yes, but the guides don't always work--like with 35mm pinhole pictures where the image extends into the sprocket holes and you want to scan the whole thing. Or when running 35mm film through a medium format camera (same issue with sprocket holes). In both those instances, I tried putting the film into one of the bigger guides, but the film dips down and touches the glass. -- Tracy, I measured my guide on my 2450 and found it to be the same thickness as mounting board so I made a larger guide to hold my negatives stretched out and taped at the ends. Make sure to leave that small rectangle at the back end open just like the epson guides, they use this space for calibration. I laminated mine so that tape comes off easily. The 2450 and 3200 have a 4x9 transparency adapter so it works great with my extended length blended 120 negatives. I have also seen Anti Newton spray at a photo store. This is what those rings you mentioned are called. You get it by placing the base side in contact with the glass. If you spray the glass with this spray it might help, or you might try turning your negatives over so that the emulsion side touches the glass and flip them back in you image editing program. Hope this helps. Chris Chris Peregoy pere...@umbc.edu http://www.pinholeblender.com

You can automate things so that, by using the guides, it will recognize the images and offer them to you already selected. This allows you to scan them in batches, which I did with a few rolls of slides I took in Spain. The results were excellent, so not using the guide hands you a bunch of disadvantages.
