That's exactly how one would go about scanning medium format panoramic shots
with the ss120

Hey all!
This is not too bad, as long as you can scan the 6x9 sections without
having to move the film in the holder, a stitch in Photoshop should be
trivial!
In my Scan Multi, I'd have to move the film if I wanted to do this, which
would disturb the film angle enough to make lining up the individual scans
distinctly non-trivial!
I've done something similar, however, scanning a 6x6 image at 2880 in three
longitudinal stripes.... getting them to line up perfectly is almost
impossible.
HOWEVER! I"ve printed the individual strips and pasted them together as a
PRINT (the ultimate goal, as I don't have a wide format printer!). I made
one poster sized print out of five strips glued together. I was able to
find good spots in the image to make the joins almost invisible, especially
in the poster frame the print lives in.

I know for a fact that it will not scan panoramic medium format images.
The scanner will preview a 6x24 image but not scan it. The maximum scan
area remains at 6x9

It should work with the glass carrier which is available from Polaroid. I
just got one and have used it a few times. I don't have 6x17 negs but it
can scan a several negative long strip of 6x7, and allows scanning up to
6x24.
