I built my own table to sit over the bath tub for the dark side, and had a folding table to hold the enlarger for the dark side. I printed a lot in there, but now the idea of going to all that trouble... Nice time lapse. It looks like you had fun doing it.

It would be great if you could point me on how to build a modified guide for the scanner. I own a 8800f but the 35mm guide obviously covers the sprocket holes, is there a way to build it up? Thanks and keep up the good work ;) Hi Cameron, really good work!

Thanks so much for the information. I just got my hands on a Lomography spinner 360, and I need to scan the long 35mm negatives with sprocket holes. The included 120 mask for my Epson V500 isn't quite long enough, and most cardboard masks need some support in the middle, which interrupts the continuous panorama. I've looked at the betterscanning.com holders with ANR glass, but $80 seems a little steep. Any thoughts for a DIY solution? Great article, Cameron. Thanks so much for the information.
