Ah, I get the idea. Have a feeling that the Durst Nega 138 is pretty
good at clamping the neg carriers fairly tightly so I may not have
the option of a "kissing" rather than clamping contact. Am hoping
that the design of the neg. holder is such that the neg is just held
in the glass rather than clamped. Haven't tried this out yet. Guess
it'll have to wait until I return from a trip after the weekend.
The top glass will be fine as it is anti-Newton ie slightly frosted.
The bottom glass has the potential for rings but will keep my fingers
crossed and try not to raise too much dust ;-)
