    Re: Epson v700 scanning problem...

    The film holders and the scanning area guide have a proper gap at the top. You cannot place the negative too high if you use them.

    It's because V700's "upper" scanning area is not big enough to cover 8x10. 8x10 can only be scanned off the bed, AFAIK. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

    The shapes of OOF highlights have nothing to do with internal lens reflections. An OOF spot light source will always have the exact shape as the aperture.
