[filmscanners] Re: IT8 calibration & SS 120

["James L. Sims" <jlsims@knology.net>]

Simon,

I have not noticed a flatness problem with the SS 120 MF carrier.  According to 
Polaroid,
however, they will have a glass carrier available within about a month.

I am having an indexing problem, when using VueScan, with MF carrier.  I have 
devised some
work-arounds but it's still a hassle.  All the carriers work well with Insight 
and
SilverFast.
