I can confirm that the carriers are interchangable, but I had to press hard to get the Valloy carrier into the 'mat. Before I got carriers I used a home-made carrier cut from matt board with an Xacto knife and hinged with tape. The decending condenser holds it tight. Btw, I also have a glass carrier that will take negs up to size 127. That way the neg is between two glass surfaces. Regards, Bill Lawlor
