[Leica] Scanner stripes

[Nathan Wajsman]

I just developed a roll of Tri-X shot in my Rollei 35. The good news is that the negatives are nice and sharp. The bad news is that when I scan them on my Reflecta RPS 7200 film scanner, I get stripes like these, and a generally unpleasant rendition:

This scan was produced with Silverfast; in my desperation I downloaded Vuescan (which I otherwise dislike) to see if it would do better, but it doesn’t. Obviously, the fault is not with the negative itself but in the scanner’s interaction with that negative. The only thing I can think of is that this particular frame is quite dense (i.e. over-exposed), and that the scanner simply has difficulties coping with that. Any other ideas?

TIA,
Nathan
