Epson V750 Pro or other recommendations

Hi,
I'm sure you answered some of your own questions already. What t-locks are you referring to? Mine came with little feet and that's it. You can turn them in certain directions to raise or lower the height of the holder. That's really important to get your negative/slides sharp. I usually have mine raised a little higher than the factory default. It improved the scans dramatically.

The wet mount is great, but make sure you don't let any wet mount liquid get under the plastic or you'll be buying a new we mount unit after a year like I did. The plastic start cracking first where the screws are and then everywhere else. Truthfully, it should have been made with something other than plastic.

The 6x6 negative mounts can hold up to 3 negatives/slides per strip.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Nathan
 
Slides keep curling up and won't stay flat in V750 holder

Dear N.,
Helps? Of inestimable value! Very kind of you to reply with this need-to-know info and can't thank you enough. In response to your q:

The V750 holder for 120 mm film only (barely) holds the edge of film that has a memory to curl, hence making it almost impossible for it to lay flat.
Epson must have some way of making film sit in holder and could not have overlooked so flagrant a design flaw. Also, the betterscanning holder has (i'm told) separate locks placed by the user between the 2nd and 3rd frames that hold the strip in the holder flat.

Was my V750 shipped without the parts that hold the curvey film flat?

My medium format holder only has the snap tabs on the sides of the frame and that's it. I just looked at my holder and I noticed the little foam parts that are on the top of the frame is all deformed and coming apart. Weird.
