I can get enough of the frame included to my satisfaction but I have to "jiggle" the negative a lot whilst viewing very closely over the light box. Then, after spending too much time doing that, the holder, like yours jams frequently. I don't scan that many negatives anymore but when I do find that I have a lot less frustration if I temporarily mount them in a Polaroid slide mount for a quick scan. Mostly I shoot Ektachrome and Provia these days when using 35mm.
