Depth of Field is my point. There is no way a betterscan holder will get me closer to focus. I had already found there was about 0.5 mm of sweet spot with my own investigations.
The point is that all the efforts to achieve perfectly flat film are not necessary. Many people including me get very sharp scans over the whole, negative in my case, with the regular holder. The reason this is possible is because the slight film curvature is within the scanners depth of field. It is possible that if you focused your scanner/holder you might find all the fooling around does not produce a better scan.
The Epson holders do not crop my negs. I'm not sure what you are talking about D. Bryant but that seems to be normal.
