Look for a piece of rubber floor mat like the ones for cooks to stand on in restaurant kitchens. They're heavy, fairly thick and made to be slip resistant. It might help with absorbing some of the vibrations.
For a couple of years in the mid 1990's we rented an apartment in the Ambassador on the corner of SW 6th and Madison. Being on the Transit Mall, the constant stream of busses would shake the building. It must be a lot worse with the Max trains rumbling past.
Ah, yes! I forgot! In addition to buses and trucks going by, I am also on the streetcar line...so, lots of rumbles...
A blizzard of blizzard photos, taken on Sunday in Montréal. Fuji Work Record with Ilford XP2 400. We got about 67 centimeters (26 inches) on top of the snow that was already there from a storm a few days before. It's going to take a long time to dig out.

Interestingly while Dr G shot Lomo 400 in Baby Blue, I shot HP5 in my Holga on the same walk. My results looked underexposed which was really weird given that it was a bright sunny day etc.
So I cross my arms, make a sulky ‘harumph’ sound and check my stash in the freezer for clues - perhaps this was way old?
Nah… the issue was it actually was Ortho 50! I forgot I had that and all the boxes look kinda the same so I thought I was loading HP5…

See - isn't that joy of film?! That after all this time you can still make a goof in a new way?! It's been a couple years since I've really bungled something, so I figure another event is around the corner. Can't wait.

I made a similar mistake today when I picked up what I thought was a container of guacamole from my favorite Mexican artisan grocery store, to be consumed with their homemade tortilla chips at a party tonight, but it turned out to be an extremely spicy green sauce instead. I was the only one whose taste buds were shot enough to be able to eat it.

To be fair, I was using my Holga so if I didn't say anything people would have assumed the results were cr@p because I was using the Holga...

Ortho 50? Do you mean Orto 50? Or maybe Ortho Plus 80?
Back to the scanning question. I use Blackscale Lab's Molo setup. I can scan both 35mm and 120 with separate masks for each. Comes with a bunch of tubes of different sizes and stepup rings to attached the lens. Uses a Cinestill light source which tucks neatly into the film holder so there's no extraneous light, only the negative getting light. It's a pull through system similar to the Valoi so I can scan a roll of 36 in about 1-2 minutes. I use my Sony A1 and a Laowa 90/2.8 macro.

Yes, I have been looking at the Molo setup, mostly for my MF negatives (Plaubel Makina 670), but also 35mm. I note that their website says the Molo only comes with 35mm, 6x6, and 6x9 masks. Is there no 6x7 mask? Seems like an oversight!

According to Dmitry of Blackscale Labs, you would use the 6x9 mask to scan 6x7 negatives. Obviously, there will be stray light on the sides and I don't know how much the scans will be affected. Reach out to Dmitry on the Blackscale Labs website. He responds rather quickly to inquiries and questions. He even worked with me to produce a 35mm X-Pan mask that sits over the 6x9.
