Re: scanner recommendations

You might find reading this interesting as you search for a solution.......

Good Grief!  It is widely accepted that wet mounting improves the scans, but it is surprising that the V600 film holders were so *far* off.

Cost can probably explain the lack of on-the-fly focussing on Epson scanners. It does not explain the lack (if there *is* a lack) of a way to tweak the focus by some kind of internal adjustment (a kind of shimming or otherwise moving the lens or CCD).  At the very least Epson should ensure that focus can be adjusted by shimming the film hold "up" (away from the glass) and never "down".
