Is this aberration definitely visible on the film? (I assume its transparency film) After your image is captured on film, obviously it must then be scanned to produce your digital image for posting. I wondered if the aberration was being introduced at that (weak link) point by the scanner? Cheers, Hoppy (who'd like a focomat in his coolscan) Hoppy - Quite far from a silly question, this. However, I seem to recall seeing this through my magnifier when looking through some 'chromes a coupla years ago.
