I have quite a few negatives that are bowed as much as 1/16 inch.  In fact
the SA-21 won't load them.  However, once I use the strip film holder, the
LS-40 has no difficulty getting a good scan.  Perhaps you are thinking of
the Coolscan 8000 which may have troubles with the medium format stock.

Yes I think I was reading about the 8000. I asked the focusing question to
determine if the problem was noticed with the IV which I am considering
buying. The reviews I have read all indicate the IV is the "best buy" these
days but did not want to get anything with a "potential" problem..
