Re: The Great Scanner debate - round one

Why would you do that? The software for the 1680 allows you to change focus
to the glass surface. I just slap negatives and transparencies right on the
glass itself. I keep humidity low and have no problems with Newton's Rings.
The glass can be replaced with multicoated glass if Rings are a problem.

Regards,
Wayne
