Yes Don but we should also see the larger sized prints you've made from those negs which are high speed and run through the airport multiple times. I propose or demand or just state out loud that such statistics are for 4x6 inch print output. 99.99 percent of the output which gets outputted by snap shooting shutterbugs far and wide. The rest of us more serious shooters better watch it. Here on the LUG I think that we print letter sized minimum. Or 8x10. A survey may be in order we need surveyor tools. Or bigger. But I print all sizes but my default remains 11x14 but with my new 3800 I'm going to bring some 17x22s down to Sante fee for people to see. Or send them down folded into large paper airplanes when the wind is just right. None will be from irritated or microwaved negs. None will be from high-intensity x-ray scanned negs. The Regions of the Electromagnetic Spectrum I'd expect my negs to be subjected to would be in the Visible area only. A touch of Ultraviolet maybe and a sprinkling of Infrared. Radio I'm not so worried about maybe I should be depends on the station. Gamma Rays I don't think I can do anything about so I'm not going to worry about the effect of. Those pesky pin holes that's where they undoubtedly come from. Not STOP BATH!
