So I recently bought an EPSON V700 for around £200 less than retail, the only catch being it came without film holders.<br>
I've read a lot about scanning using anti reflective glass and that you are able to get amazingly sharp images. I've attempted myself and get mixed results, however I am scanning the negative directly from the flatbed glass and using a 2nd piece of glass to flatten.<br>
Does anybody here scan film (120) without using the holders, instead using a more DIY method. I would buy the holders but I'm a student and would much rather pay £10 on two panes of glass than £25-£80 on holders... <br>
