I like the idea proposed in another thread about sandwiching film between two pieces of glass with ANR coatings contacting the film. I'm thinking the Betterscanning Wet/Dry Mounting Station, with an extra piece of ANR glass, would be ideal. I really don't want to try to tape my MF negs to the glass as there isn't much of an edge around my 6x9s.
I know another member here does this, though with the supplied Epson V750 Wet mount (non ANR, but with B/W film emulsion contacting that glass) and another ANR glass on top. Are there any others who have done or are doing this? Is there just more badness going through even MORE glass???
Also as a note, my V700 seems to achieve best focus at around 4.5mm! In that case, wouldn't mounting on the bottom of the Wet/Dry station not allow me enough height for optimal focus? I don't know enough about the design of the BS holders, but I'd have to think the glass is thick enough to drop the film out of focus, without enough room left for adjustment back to the optimal height.
I'd like to place an order right now, but I thought I may be wiser to run this by some of you knowledgeable and helpful folks here first.
