Show up in photo prints? Condenser? Diffusion? Cold >Lite? Hell yes, performing surgery on a new camera is out of line! That's why mine is back at Leica now. No, I have NOT exhaustively tested other new cameras BECAUSE neither my F5 or my Rolllei scratch the film. I scan lots of film. Film I've shot and film from other sources. It s NOT a problem because there's a new Nikon scanner. It IS a problem because the film is scratched. That's all. I don't think all M6's scratch the film. Obviously yours don't. Some of us are not so lucky. Until you personally inspect the film from these cameras why not drop the arguments? Just MAYBE we're not idiots and MAYBE the film really is scratched. Henry Ambrose
