Simon, Unfortunately, it scans where it thinks the frames are but there's enough overscan that you can position the film strip in the carrier to get all frames in view. Because of the way 120 cameras index and register each frame, varying film tensions, slippage of the metering roller, and a

James That's what I like about this list - people who know! Thanks very much for the tip, I will check it out. Does it just scan 6x24 or does it try and scan between where it thinks the frames are. The latter could still be a problem. Simon On 21/4/02 4:38 am, "James L. Sims" <[EMAIL PROTECT

Simon, In SilverFast there is a button on the image panel (six down) called "Job Manager" that will permit you to preview and scan all four images in the carrier. Make sure you click the "6X6" and then click the third button from the left at the bottom of the "Job Manager" panel. Another apple

Jim I am just being paranoid about flatness. The scans are tack sharp. I will definitely look into the glass carrier though. Here is a suggestion for anyone from Lasersoft who may be listening. Can we have a 6X24 option so that we can scan a whole four image strip please? Insight has it and i

Simon, I have not noticed a flatness problem with the SS 120 MF carrier. According to Polaroid, however, they will have a glass carrier available within about a month. I am having an indexing problem, when using VueScan, with MF carrier. I have devised some work-arounds but it's still a hass

Chris How do you find the film flatness in the MF holder? It does not look flat to me although the images seem to be in focus. I seem to try a few times to get a strip to lay flat. Any tips? It is also impossible to scan every frame on a four frame strip. I like the 120 although the film fla

Does an IT8 calibration slide come with the Silverfast Ai version 5 software supplied with the Sprintscan SS 120 in the UK? It does. Or is supposed to; my first SS120 didn't have one (the machine was returned due to other reasons) and second also didn't. So both times I had to call the retailer -
