Topic: some advice please

[formica]

ok, so i just finished my test roll of colour film processed in bw chemicals. the film was centuria 100(looks like konica but doesn't say konica anywhere on the box) shot in a brownie bullet II 127 camera. now normally when i shoot 35mm in a camera like this i'll include the sprocket holes. so my question is do the sprocket holes add anything or should i just rescan everything using the regular 35mm mask? some examples below(nothing that great as far as the images go - just for test purposes mostly).

I'm never short of an opinion...
In these cases the sprockets overpower the images themselves, especially because they are flared out more than ever. However it could work better with a picture that was  simple graphic shapes and high contrast.

that's what i sort of was thinking too. i usually like sprocket holes when you can see the image there clearly, not just as horizontal holes...

I'd agree with the others... the sprocket holes don't seem to add anything here, rather they steal the attention of the photo. In some cases, when the holes are exposed the same as the rest of the film it works, and perhaps adds interest. Here, I'd say go ahead and crop or rescan.
