[filmscanners] RE: Carriers for Epson 2450

["Tim Atherton" <tim@KairosPhoto.com>]

"heavy magnetic register covers" ?

I'm trying to make an 8x10 film holder and this sounds like it might do the
trick. But what is it?

Any other ideas? (I need to be able to tape the negs into it, because they
sag)
