Bit the bullet and bought a better scanning holder, to try and keep me from running out and buying the new Opticfilm 120... haha...


Anyway, does anyone use the recommended Scotch tape (?!) or does someone use something different?

I use scotch magic tape. Leaves no residue. It does have an annoying tendency to tear in the wrong place, the substrate is pretty weak and brittle I think. But the cleanliness is most appreciated.

For quick scans of roll film I recommend the Digitaliza from Lomography.com. Cheap, very quick mounting, reasonably flat, easy to shim to optimal height.

But for final scans, the betterscanning solution is the best.
