Emulsion side? Can you match them up with something in the camera that might be creating them? Be peeved at what is causing your scratches which my vote would fall not to your camera but to your lab. Unless you are having your 3 by 5's done at a pro lab. Feel lucky to find a cheap minilab that does justice to such fine equipment and be less quick to pass judgement on that fine equipment and quicker to pass it on the junky place you brought your film to.
