I'm not sure what the rotating carrier does that this one does not. I use it for 120 all the time -- I've scanned other sizes with it, all the way down to Minox, but never 127. With 120, the Nikon scanner software automatically senses whether you have a strip of 6x4.5, 6x6, or 6x7 inserted and generates the thumbnails appropriately. I've had no trouble with Newton rings at all. Nikon should have included this holder with the scanner, IMHO, since the medium format holder that is included is pretty much unusable. -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe.tessem@gmail.com
