Ernst, I will try what you said about masking it first. I neglected to mention the most important thing - the negatives are overexposed (simply because my Holga was set to "Bulb" without my knowledge!) so they are dense. HOWEVER, I can see through them when held up to light so the information is there. On another subject, yes I do scan directly onto the glass but I never seemed to have a focus problem. Is using the mediocre film holders that Epson gives me, advantageous to focus?
