Re: defocusiing with 120 mm

["Dave King" <kingphoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I fixed that problem by always performing an auto focus on a high contrast
area *of my choice* near the film center *just* before the actual scan.
Leave the default "auto focus on preview" switched on if you like, it makes
no difference.  This scanner has limited depth of focus, and the default
auto focus area is simply the center of the frame, whether there happens to
be enough contrast at that particular spot or not.  I also suspect if you
wait long enough between preview and scan focus drift and/or film shift may
occur.
