I had to tell you - better late than never - that the SF-200 works perfectly with the thicker plastic mounts. I use both Gepe and Wess mounts (2 mm I think) and have never had a jam with them. The cardboard and thinner plastic mounts like Pakon will definitely jam. It is worth the slight extra expense for the thicker mounts to be able to scan 40 slides at a time with no babysitting. When you order them 10,000 at at time, they are even cheaper. The SF-200 is a life-saver. I can't imagine scanning all of my slides one at a time!
