Digital BW, The Print

Frank --

Why do you need the glass carrier? I have one for my SS120 but only find it 
essential when I absolutely must scan all the way to the edge of an image. 
Lots more dust to spot when I do. Most of the time I use a 120 holder that 
I've filed out to the maximum opening that will still hold film. This gets 
me close enough to the edge of an image so that the glass holder is rarely 
necessary. I've found that the SS120 has enough depth of field to assure 
sharp focus in large blowups without requiring the agony of four additional 
dust-catching glass surfaces.
