filmscanners: film scratched by APS adaptor for CanoScan FS2710?
Has anyone on the list had problems using the APS film adaptor for a
CanoScan FS2710 (or similar scanners)?
Normally I scan 35mm negatives for myself with no problems whatsoever,
but while scanning an APS film for a friend I noticed that horizontal
scratches were appearing on the neg.
These scratches seemed to be accentuated, strangely, by my using a
pressurised air blower to remove dust from the film while in the
adaptor. I am pretty sure that the scratches weren't there originally.
My fear is that the APS adapter is at fault.
Does anyone know if APS film emulsion is particularly fragile, or if the
CanoScan APS adaptor is problematical in this respect?
I really don't know where to go from here - I suppose could get a
replacement adaptor from Canon, but I'd still be reluctant to scan these
films if there was a generic problem.
Any help would be welcome.
TIA
