emwalker Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Is it just me, or is the 35mm film strip tray with the Epson 4490 the flimsiest, most cheaply made peice of s**te you ever saw? The scanner is pretty nice, but these trays are poorly made, hard to manipulate, and taking almost as much time to 'set' as I'm spending scanning. I have seen some custom trays online, and I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the third party items available and any improvements/advantages. What I see with the Epson product is the thing is too soft and flexible, and the snap-locking mechanism is poorly designed and doesn't line up right in at least two places at any given time... thanks for advice or review of the other products. -e- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelging Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I agree and I am having the same problems. If you wear lintless gloves and man handle it, it works better.The MF and 4x5 holders are better than the 35mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustys pics Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The 35mm Epson film holder is completely wretched.... If you locate something better, please let us know as I'm sure to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
