Scanning negs...the Diane Arbus way!

some subject fits sloppy borders. Some need proper sharp and straight borders.
It's a gimmick to decide beforehand and apply such a border thing for all one's photograph.
In my humble oppinion.
 
Thanks for sharing this... not that I particularly like or want the same border, but just a reminder that all things can be hacked and modified to suit our personal needs and tastes.

Been annoyed with the stock V500 medium-format holders, so this is timely... I am off to find some bits and bobs to make some new holders.
 
Mabelsound, I like the way it looks, and appreciate the thought behind your strategy. Sometimes willful anachronism can be radical.

But just wondering about a technical issue: is the height (width) of the bottom piece of cardboard exactly correct for the scanner to be in perfect focus? I seem to remember your pumpkins looking sharper before they had a border.
