Hi Denis
Sorry to disturb you again.

Did Ed answer you on this topic?

Strangely, it's very difficult here in Paris to find a reseller who a
has a multi pro for demo... They're all going to Nikon. You might have made
for yourself  what should be  my "final test" before spending 3000$ for my
own unit:

Using Vuescan, have you tryed moving the 35mm negs holder on 65mm lenght?
(I'm a Vuescan user, and also plan to cannibalize a 35mm neg holder in order
to scan three 24x65 negs).

What do you think about the strip flatness on holders without any plastic
frame dividers? (Thinking to my workflow, I'd like to remove ALL dividers).

Hope you get in your island the same wonderful spring we have in Paris.

Regards.
Didier
