Re: filmscanners: Loading the Polaroid 4000 Filmstrip Carrier?

[Martin Greene <camerabuggy@earthlink.net>]

Thanks Johnny and Margaret

Thanks for the advice.  I was reluctant to push too hard, fearing I'd break
it.  But, following your advice, with much pushing, I got it open.  It was
easier the next time. I also managed to load it.  The Nikon Supercoolscan
4000 is, by comparison, a pleasure to load.  But, then, it costs a lot more.
