nguyen_anh_mai Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 <p> Hello everyone,<br> Yesterday, I broke my scanner film holder by mistake. I am trying to look around the internet to buy a new one but they all have bunch of weird names and dont really tell the holder is for 120/220 or 35mm. My formats are mostly 6x6 6x7 and 6x8. So I just want to hear some recommendations from you guys...oh and I am living in the UK so it would be great if you can recommend any (online) store in the UK.<br> Thank you all very much</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
making_time Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 <p>http://www.betterscanning.com/ . These holders are superior to the Epson shipped ones.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean_yves_mead Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 <p>The betterscanning holders are excellent, and well worth the cost (especially if you add the anti-Newton-rings glass); but if you want an Epson holder then try <a href="http://www.scandig.com/filmscanner-accessories/epson/index.html">ScanDig</a> - their prices are reasonable and they ship quickly.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbcarter Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 <p>I had never thought I would ever recommend a lomo product, but here goes....</p> <p><a href="http://canada.shop.lomography.com/accessories/accessory-best-sellers/lomography-digitaliza-120">http://canada.shop.lomography.com/accessories/accessory-best-sellers/lomography-digitaliza-120</a></p> <p>This is the best commercially available film holder out there. This version is for MF. I say that having all the gear mentioned above.</p> <p>In contrast, the 35mm version is evidence that someone fell off their chair and banged their head. Someone thought it would be a good idea for the holder to allow the notches to be visible for scanning. That leaves too little area for the actual film left to hold on to which usually falls out and out of focus.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbcarter Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 <p>I just noticed the above is a Canada url. The store is very rationalized. Go accessories -> accessory-best-sellers and you will see it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgelfand Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 <p>If you want to replace the Epson holder with the same holder, Epson UK would probably have them. They would know exactly which holder you need. Try their Live Chat Monday.</p> <p><a href="http://www.epson.co.uk/Contact-Us">http://www.epson.co.uk/Contact-Us</a></p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
