Does anyone have the new Epson V700/750. There's a
wet mount (8x10?) unit for that model. Maybe it's available a replacement
part.

My suggestion would be to buy a piece of thin glass, about 1mm thick by
about 8X10" to fit over the glass of your holder, glue some thin brass strips
to the glass to serve as a frame for the size negative you want to scan, and
scan your negative emulsion down wet-mounted with some type of mounting fluid.
You could also use Johnson baby oil for this, though clean-up is a little
harder.
My experience is that wet-mounting can improve significantly the quality
of your scan, by 1) reducing grain size, 2) minimizing marks from scratches on
the negative, and increasing overall sharpness. I did this with my Epson 4870
and was really pleased with the improvement in quality.

Michael,
Doug
is not manufacturing anything but MF holders. He has attempted to come up
with a design for LF negatives but as of yet he has not succeeded. Per a
conversation, I had with him at lunch earlier this week the LF holder
development has been placed on hold due to the high demand for his MF
holders.
No
one else makes a LF holder for the 4990. It would be nice but there are a
lot of problems creating a reliable high quality and yet comparatively
inexpensive holder that meets the needs of LF users.
I'm
sure a crafty person such as yourself could make a home made holder that
would suffice for your on personal use. Coming up with a mass marketed item
is much more problematic. Doug's approach is to manufacture and market value
added products that are durable and almost fool proof.

If you scroll down
the page he mentions that he's working on 4x5, 5x7 and "odd sized"
holders...whether you can get one yet is the question.

Doug only has MF
negative holders and is only making MF holders.

Were you thinking Doug's MF holder. I
think he's making other frame sizes no too.

DEAR
LIST,
Sorry to bother y'all again but, try as I might, I cannot find
the
e-mail from the person who makes 5X7 and 8X10 negative holders for
the
Epson 4990 scanner. Please remind me of his e-mail address
so that I can
contact
him.
THANKS!
CHEERS!
BOB
