Quick question for v750 owners

[Uri A]

Hi all,

I just received my v750.

The manual mentions a "film area guide" for 8x10. I do not appear to have this piece! I have holders for 35, MF, 4x5 and slides, plus a fluid mount thing (2 parts).

Was this in the box for you guys??

[Marty Knapp]

Yes, mine had this guide. It's a very flimsy mask, easy to miss even if it was in your package. I didn't see mine at first, but as I was putting my neg holders away, I saw it. Nearly through it away by accident!

I missed it too. Its in there somewhere.

Son of a b&$#@!!

Looks like I've thrown mine out!!!

The neg holders were wrapped to a piece of the styrofoam. Anyone remember how and where in the box the guide was shipped?

I feel a class action coming on people!

I have a lowly V700 and frantically went looking for this piece of plastic about a month after i got it - err, it's not included with the V700

I also have a v700. Here it is, with one side out of the scanfield, it was taped to the back of the 35mm film holder sandwich . Never used mine.

Looks like mine went out with the rubbish - bugger!
I have a better scanning medium format holder with ANR glass insert and have used the film area guide setting with the ANR glass with some success - so maybe not such a big loss.

I thought mine was missing too, until I checked all the other holders and packaging.

That thing is a joke, but it does allow you to scan the entire (almost) transparency area. Could they have made it any flimsier?

Sounds like the same thing that came with my 4990. If so it's unnecessary, I scanned plenty of 8x10 film without ever using it. I could see where the film goes just by looking at the glass.
