2) I do not like cropping my film which the OEM holders do. I attempt to compose to the very edge of the film. I like seeing the rebate in my scans. So for me OEM holders are inferior in two major ways.
3) There aren't any OEM holders larger than 4x5. So for 5x7 we have to use the wet film holder (either dry or wet). Over the years I've determined that purchasing the BS option gives me a productivity boost (compared to The Epson solution.)
4) For portfolio work I drum scan, even so I like getting maximum quality from Epson flat bed scans.
