that is driving me CRAZY -- that scratch _seems_ to be from my scanner,
but other rolls of film that i haven't scanned have it.

roll of tmax 3200 (store bought) home developed & scanned = scratches
bulk loaded hp5 home developed and scanned = scratches
bulk loaded hp5 home developed and not scanned = scratches
ilford hp5 (store bought, developed and scanned) = scratches

with three different camera bodies.
