[filmscanners] Modifying SS120 film holders

["Victor Landweber" <victor@landweber.com>]

To the list --

Jeffrey Bunting sent me some good information about modifying SS120 film 
holders. Thanks Jeffrey! I'm wondering if anyone else on the List has had 
experience in applying home-brew modifications to the nicely made but 
poorly designed Polaroid film holders.

My questions are:

1. How can I get 35mm film to stay aligned with the dividers and not shift 
when I close the 35mm film holder?

2. Is there a way to get the scanner to recognize the spacing of my 6×4.5 
negatives? My camera spaces the images very differently from that marked on 
the 2¼ film holder. The only solution I've thought up is to select one of 
the other film sizes with the hope that it will include the intended negative.

3. Does anyone have any experience in filing out the SprintScan 120 film 
holders so negatives can be scanned full-frame? Please say how you did it, 
and how it's working for you.

I have Polocolor Insight, SilverFast AI 5.5, and VueScan.

Thanks.
