As you know, scanning film is all a bit new-fangled for me. I don't know whether it is necessary to modify development to cater for scanners - perhaps in a similar way that some exponents suggest that negs destined for condenser enlargers should be developed differently to those that will be printed with a diffused light source. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this? Shame about the problem with the M3 negatives. Can you scan the negatives individually? On the Canon 2400, you can (sorry if it sounds like their ad...)
