Tweaking to get the best out of your gear!
Tip:(If you own lots of 126 film take a look at John Fowler's D.I.Y filmholder for this kind of film here.)

Crop positions
above.
I made this little tweak test on suggestion from a review reader.
The idea is to determine if the scanner has its focus at the wrong distance from the glass bed.
I made six different scans: Normal, +4mm, +2mm, +1mm, +0,5mm, from the glass and finally
I ripped the film out of its slide frame and mounted it straight on to the glass
with tape :0)
The slide frame it self held the film 0,5mm above the glass (2mm standard slide frames)
4 crop positions of each scan so be repaired no USM sharpening applied (lots of images).
