I disagree that a high end digital camera (which will cost at least US$1000 to get 3.3 MP and that still doesn't approach the information even a Scanwit can offer) will do the job for B/W. B/W is not just a matter of "dumping the color"... at least not if you are a serious practitioner of the

Hi! I think that the problem will probably go away. The problem is that SCSI has about 8 subdevices. There is no need to install any driver, but Windows is stupid enough to request a driver for all subdevices. So just answering yes or no at least 8 times to all stupid questions should make

Try PEC-12 or Kodak film cleaner and/or some compressed air. The dust on the just-processed film may be the processor's doing in running the film through their machine or in handling it afterward. If it's bad enough you may be wise to try another film processor. Maris - Original Message

A few ideas. Someone mentioned the anti-static wipes, there is also something called Kimwipes which are for darkroom use. There is also made a anti-static brush (although I'm not recommending it due to radiation issues, (which created a long debate before, so I'm not going into it again)).
