a quick self portrait

This was a quick and dirty self portrait i made due to boredom at home, also to see if I prefer fuji to kodak.  Does anyone have experience wet mounting on the scanners, to scan full frame without getting newton rings?

i dont but i dont think you can on any of our scanners i think it only works on the new v750 but talk to kyle, he does a lot of it i think and has a new scanner.

Its best to have a wet mount holder to keep the scanners clean. If the fluid reaches the edge of the glass it can get into the scanner. You should look at betterscanning.com if you think you might want to get wet mount holder, they make nice custom holders, adjustable height too.

thanks, yeah I've actually been researching those scan trays since your original post this past summer, but had heard from Kyle to try it without a particular special scan tray just with the fluid...But using one of those Better Scanning trays would make more since especially when using the schools scanners.
