Sanders,

Out of curiosity did Microtek come up with better film holders than the ones
Polaroid shipped? I liked my SS120 but the 120 holder was too narrow and cut
off about 1.5mm of image on both sides and I had to wait for the glass
holder to get full frame. With the firmware upgrades you described it sounds
like the better way to go.
