wet mount 8X10 120 flatbed anti-newton

Wet-mount scanning / sheet film / flatbed / custom 120 carriers / 
anti-newton / links

Wet mounting reportedly gains sharpness (better focus from better 
carriers), better Dmax, as well as vanishing dust and scratches.  

Following are links to unique Nikon wet mount holder and 
demonstration of results, Yahoo forum about wet mounting and 
flatbeds, Yahoo forum about 4870 and 4990 (applies to other 
flatbeds), and Doug Fisher's custom (including anti-newton) carrier 
for flatbeds (I use one).
