Because the main headache with focussing has been bowed slides which form a kind of dome shape? A sensible average point would be halfway along a diagonal between the center and one corner. Using the motorised feeder with curled strips of film could be problematic depending on which end of the frame is curled. :( In this situation I'd think the best option would be to use the center focus point since about 3/4 of the frame should be flat. The only real solution for curled film is the flim strip holder. If only the feeder held the film flat! Rob Rob Geraghty [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wordweb.com
