Never taken any special precautions or had any problems, but I always shoot slide film for my important stuff and slides get mounted and batch-scanned in my Minolta Scan Multi (with the bulk feeder than holds 50 slides). When I shoot negatives, it's for web page use and thus not very critical. I have the Kodak scanner set up so that film can hang out of either side readily, but that's the only special effort I've taken. For really critical scans (large prints) I use the Kodak scanner, but with mounted slides so it only takes one at a time. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
