The filmstrip adapter (model SA-21) for the Nikon LS4000ED moves the
film by pinching it between motor-driven rubber rollers about 3/8 of
an inch wide down the center of the filmstrip. I feel certain that
if there's grit on these rollers it will scratch the film, although I
haven't used mine enough yet for them to get dirty.
