Val,

I use SilverFast 5.5, the SS120 and the glass film holder to scan 645 
negs with no problems. It works like any of the other film holders 
for the SS120 and I don't see why it shouldn't work with your 6x7 
negs just as well. I don't care much for PolaColar. Have you updated 
the firmware of the scanner to 1.3?
