I have read several reports from people who have used older models of Nikon
slide feeders. As I recall, they found the feeders were very reliable with
plastic slide mounts.

With card mounts there was a risk that the feeder would try to gobble two slides
at the same time, causing a jam. This was easily averted by reducing the size of
an input slot (with, for example, a piece of credit card held on with adhesive
tape).

Does this apply to the current model, does anyone know?
