Bob,

Because of your post I wanted to try the Rollei ATP 1.1 in my Nikon  
scanners (CS9000 and CS V). I assume this is a very high contrast,  
high sharpness no grain film. The film price is OK but the developer  
is very expensive. I see in the Massive Developer Chart that Rodinal  
can be used  at a 1+300 dilution. Do you have any idea how this would  
work out. I'm willing to experiment with anything.

As to your problem I would have no idea why it won't scan. Are the  
negatives real thin (density)?

Len
