just wondering if anyone uses a second negative holder for their scanner.
i have thought that having a second might speed things up a bit when scanning.
i have an older canon (2710) and am thinking it would be nice to be able to load one up when one is in the machine.

does anyone do this?

My neg. holder can hold 10 (35mm) negatives at a time which just slide in and out, takes like 5 seconds to change. How does yours work?
 
similar.
mine holds a strip of 6. it's not hard to change but depending on my arthritis that day i can be clumsy. if i had a second i could do it at an even more leisurely pace.
 
I do a preview of most frames and scan the winners. If you scan everything, you'll wind up with a rather large CD or DVD collection.
 
I have a Nikon LS-4000 I bought new about 3-4 years ago and a used roll film adapter from eBay. Scanning was getting to be a drag before that, putting in one strip of six at a time, but now I feed the entire roll in, preview the first few to set the parameters (I use Vuescan) then set it for List, 1-36, and walk away. About an hour later I have all the scanning in and I review, toss some, keep most, work on the ones I like best.

I know that does not directly address the first question here but I did it in the interest of speeding up the workflow which it certainly does. Used LS-4000 scanners and the used film adapters can be had for a relatively affordable price now. It's a great scanner to boot.

Hello:

I use 3 holders , 2 to mount while the first batch is scanning. Neat as long as my original preferred 12 exposure length rolls were widely available.
