Fair enough. I confess I've never done a test to find out exactly what
the comparison is between what appears in my camera's viewfinder and what
appears no the film. I try not to crop too tight in the viewfinder just
in case. Maybe it's a reasonable assumption to think that the edge of the
viewfinder is actually the edge of what goes on the film, but I'm not certain
of it, so I don't take the risk. But having taken photos the way you did,
I can see why you would want to scan the entirety of the image out to the
border.
