Placing 120 B & W negs directly on the scanner glass

Hi everyone,

Mine is a general query. I'm using Silverfast via Photoshop on my Epson V750. So far I have only scanned B & W 120 negs.
Inserting negs into the supplied holder was a bit wobbly as some negs were bowed.
Placing them in the Epson fluid mount turned out to be a sticky, gooey operation which took time to clean up after.
I am now placing the negs directly onto the glass and covering them with a sheet of clear acetate to keep them flat.
The results seem to me to be perfect, but am I doing anything wrong?

Regards
JERV

I do not think you are doing anything wrong, they do look perfect to you, don't they?

Cheers
