I use an Epson 4180 scanner for my MF negs, using the factory supplied holder as well as a custom built mf strip holder that I bought online from a guy who makes them. Truth be told, I'm not happy with either of them. I rarely if ever scan more than one neg at a time, and am thinking of trying to build something (likely a 2 piece unit) that will hold the neg flat...maybe using glass? Any hints? Has anyone done something like this? Would I use a more opaque piece of glass on top of the neg? I'm about as handy as three left feet, so the simpler the better
