When the end of a strip in a glassless carrier isn't supported, it curls downward and creates the situation you describe--an even "bar" of poor focus all the way down only one edge of the negative. Even with a half-glass carrier (the only kind I will use for 35mm), all four edges of the negative have to be supported by the edges of the cutaway or insert. - --Mike
