Hey Steve, I'm having bad luck with Neopan 1600 as well in ALL situations :( I will be trying the 1:3 for the next few rolls as well. Scanning just makes the negs look worse than they already are AFAI can tell. I will try some gentle agitation as well. Do you do 5 every 30 sec or 10 every 60 sec...?? - -- John Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
