What a great suggestion! The center "snaps" on the negative carrier don't
snap cleanly/crisply like the end snap and sometimes the center of the lid
of the carrier appears to bow slightly. I was afraid to force it, and so
just left it like that. I have ordered two more negative carriers (so I can
be cleaning and loading while scanning) and I will see if they are better.
Also, I will fiddle with these and see if I can improve the action.
Whatever made you think of that?
Thanks,

ps: I picked up a box of european travel/tourist junk (maps, postcards,
etc.) from an auction tonight, and found a couple hundred commerical slides
in the bottom! These are from the late 70's and early 80's. THey are all in
the original boxes/pouches - I have started scanning them in for fun and
practice and the images are fantastic (to a lame newbie like me!) I am
surprised the color has survived this long. I guess being in a storage
container for the past 15 years didn't hurt them! I won't be getting too
much sleep tonight - this is just way to much fun!

I've never had this happen, only two thoughts come to mind. The clips on
the film carrier are not CLIPPED tightly, double squeeze them to make sure.
Defective. Check the film strip holders and if those are tight, exchange
it!
