No problems since.

I've just dried and scanned my first roll of Neopan 1600 developed in XTol 1:3, and the result is bizarre and unusable. My best guess as to what went wrong is that I didn't mix the XTol enough and there were still particles floating around in it, but, in any event, if you'd be willing to look at this 200KB image that is a closeup of the scan, and express an opinion as to what those white things are, I'd be grateful. They are not dust: I looked at both surfaces of the negative under a microscope with strong sidelighting, and no dust was visible. (The object in the foreground is the back end of a seagull, and you are looking at actual pixels as they came out of the LS4000) http://reid.org/brian/images/xtol1.jpg that's an ell followed by a one in the filename. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
