This week, I predict, e-Bay prices of old sometime-classy flatbeds with
10x8 film hoods will mysteriously increase due to a sudden demand... :)
The good thing about cannibalising a Paterson frame is that by overlaying
film edges it gets 6 strips of 6 35mm into the 10x8 scanning area. Not so
handy if yours are cut into 7's or 4's, of course. Ditto 6x6 in 3's, if
yours are in 4's. Just a bit of plain glass from a cheap picture frame
would be fine if you don't mind laying them out manually.
