[HUG] [HUG]Re: EPSON flatbed problem

Hi Oliver,
I have an Epson V700 and have purchased the betterscanning MF holder with Glass. I often scan 6x12 negs shot with a horseman. I have made many 20"x40" prints from the scans I have made. The standard film holder is OK for prints upto about 8"x10" but not much bigger even after following the focus instructions supplied by Epson. Epson USA only made the film holders focusable after examining the betterscanning product and dealing with multiple complaints from the V700/V750 owners about the soft focus. It is definitly worth the investment and once you have it focused, you will be impressed.

Commercial scans already have that done during the process at the lab. i
also read somewhere that the height of the filmholder is quit important for 
this scanner. Look
here:http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%%0V700/page_1.htm";

Thanks for the link; that is a thorough review. I also looked at
www.betterscanning.com, referenced in photo-i. Although the height of the
film holder is obviously critical, I doubt that Epson would knowingly turn
out a product that causes an out-of-focus condition in 100% of the MF cases. The Epson holder has a single coutout for 6x12. The "betterscanning" holder 
uses T-bars to clamp the film strip between frames. Does anyone have
experience with this product?
Oliver
