120 Mounted Slide Scan Carrier?

[Michael P.]

Does anyone know of a carrier for mounted 120 slides that fits flatbed film scanners, e.g., 4490, V500, V700, etc? I checked Doug Fisher's site but didn't see one. Thanks!

Been watching for responses because I would really like to have this info also.
C'mon you all out there.

Anyone? Beuhler?

I believe a few people here have been using this setup

Thanks, Joe. They work with film strips. I wonder if they work with mounted slides?

Haven't the slightest, but... wouldn't the thickness of the slide mount offset, that is, raise, the film surface from the correct focus distance of the scanner (at or near the scanner glass surface), thus creating less than perfectly sharp scans?
I really don't know. Just a thought.

I've been using betterscanning.com MF holder with Epson 3200 for the past 2 years. No loss in sharpness as far I can tell. Lets me scan 3 at a time, and the 3 6x6 are actually flatter than a single 6x6 in 3200 epson MF holder.

oh sorry.. I missed the part about you wanting to scan slides.. I've never ventured into that territory

Betterscanning has a holder for the 4490 / 120, however I'm not certain there is a holder for mounted 120 slides.
