Digital BW, The Print

Apologies in advance if I screw this post up.  I get the digest, and
have never tried to respond to a query on this list.

I lose a bit on the negative edges with the 120 as well.  I just ordered a
glass carrier for the 120 direct from Polaroid (new product, available only
for the past week according to the person on the phone).  Price was $129.
If I remember rightly, the person on the phone claimed it had a 61mm wide
opening, which would be about 5mm wider than my standard carrier.  I should
receive the carrier sometime next week, and will send anyone who wants it a
quick negative coverage evaluation.

I agree that the 120 is a great scanner.
