I gave up on feeding the film very quickly. The film holder works well, although it is of course a slower process to scan one frame at a time. And I use exclusively Vuescan with this scanner. I have been a Vuescan user for 9 years, and it has always given me better results than the software bundled with the scanners. The one exception is my new Epson V700, where the included Epson software works better than Vuescan. Nathan Walt Johnson wrote: > The Coolscan negative holder seems to do the trick as well.
