Hi David,

One problem you might encounter is the MF media holder. It's really 
not too hot. If it is like the 4870 MF holder, The way that film sits 
in it is goofy, there's no way to adjust it for 6x6, 6x7, or 6x14 for 
that matter

Check this out,

These work, keep the tranny pretty flat, and are completely 
adjustable.I recommend them.

Cheers

Jules
