I noticed this right away. Actually, your B&W scans from the Octoberfest looked like this also. The look received a couple of comments but I don't think you connected the questions with the screen image. If you were doing wet printing you'd achieve this look by diffusing the image whilst printing. That makes the blacks diffuse. But, since you are doing digital scanning from the negative... Do you have a Photoshop "Batch" command set up for running the scans? If so, maybe you accidentally stuck a "diffuse glow" into the action. I honestly don't know if it could be a dirty lens in the scanner. It seems to me that a dirty scanner would cause more degradation than that. Maybe Mark Rabinier would know - he had a dirty scanner recently. Anyway, keep up the good images!
